Trg Pravde ( Justice Square), Zagreb, is currently under construction. This represents one of the key strategic infrastructure projects aimed at improving the accessibility of judicial services, modernizing judicial infrastructure, improving working conditions for judicial institutions, and increasing efficiency in the resolution of commercial proceedings and administrative disputes.
The project is being constructed in multiple stages and phases. The first phase of the second stage is currently in progress and includes the construction of the South Building, underground levels, and interim landscaping of the square and adjacent park areas. The next phases will include the construction of the West, North, and East buildings.
The architectural concept is based on a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Lower Town (Donji grad) Zagreb block typology: buildings are positioned along the perimeter of the site, while a central green area is formed within the block, providing needed access to all public spaces.
The South Building is designated to accommodate the High Commercial Court, the Commercial Court, the High Administrative Court, the Administrative Court, the Judicial Academy and the Judicial Mediation Center.
The underground levels are intended for use as parking spaces, archival storage, and other supporting functions. The total gross floor area amounts to 71,506 m². The South Building consists of a ground floor and five upper floors. The structural system is designed as a reinforced concrete skeleton incorporating cores and transverse walls to ensure horizontal stability.
The above-ground parts feature a glass facade system. An aluminium facade is used on the ground and office floors, while steel cladding is applied on the first floor and vertical atriums. The roof above the fifth floor is flat, accommodating technical equipment, stairwell shafts, and solar panels. The height of the roof parapet varies, but it is harmonized with the facade’s rhythm and design.
