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

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?

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...
