In this 27th title in the Long Books Collection, Lynch Architect’s renovation of a historic courthouse is marked by a deep respect for its past, seamlessly blending restoration with thoughtful modern interventions. The Victorian courtroom, impeccably preserved, sits above a reconfigured ground floor where a corridor leads to the mortuary and arched openings. A monumental extension with a barrel-vaulted roof—reminiscent of a towering gravestone—establishes a striking dialogue with neighboring public buildings. Balancing solemnity with warmth, the design introduces welcoming spaces for visitors, acknowledging the weight of the court’s proceedings while enhancing the site’s civic presence.
