A variation on the theme - photo (very quick cell phone shot) of a building taken from the Rotterdam 'E' line of a building between Rotterdam and The Hague::

This is coming along so nicely imo.

The exterior is turning out great but the interiors in the rendering look really drab

 

[DavidCapizzano]

I wonder if they’re going to paint the entire steel structure that blue colour - would look cool to see the blue skeleton through the curtain wall facade!

To be fair, how exciting can you make a courthouse? The whole thing is somewhat limited by its function.

As for the ground floor, yeah hopefully that ends up being more engaging when there are vendors there.

You can make a courthouse very exciting from an architectural standpoint. I greatly enjoy the monumental neoclassical courthouses you see in the US with marble interiors and grand staircases. Grand atriums are a very enjoyable feature of many courthouses. While this building isn't a gilded monument, we're getting an exceptional building for the contemplated uses from an architectural standpoint.

where is the courthouse pic you are referring to?

 

[evandyk]

I don't think they referenced a specific picture? But think of Osgoode Hall, or the Kingston courthouse? Or the one in NYC at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge?

Today.

I am still desperately waiting for some decent finishes for the underside of the front roof where it hangs over the building. Please, please.

Why do you seem to think they will suddenly screw up a great building? Patience!

Good point, there's probably nothing that RSHP can do about courthouse design...
