Architecture can carry meaning as clearly as material.
In San Ramón, the Poder Judicial is conceived as a constellation of symbolic volumes—each one representing a core principle of Costa Rica’s democratic justice system:
Solidity as permanence,
Transparency as accountability,
Plurality as openness,
Justice as balance.
Elevated above a volcanic-stone base, the building affirms both grounding and aspiration: the right of every citizen to access a system that is stable, visible, and collectively upheld.
Biophilia operates not as decoration, but as strategy.
The project applies a three-layer approach—developed through Carazo Arquitectura’s research on tropical architecture:
Micro Layer: Natural elements in close contact improve daily sensory experience.
Mid Layer: Green façades, filtered light, and transition spaces weave exterior conditions into interior life.
Macro Layer: Landscape design connects the building to the wider ecosystem, restoring climatic comfort at an urban scale.
Here, vegetation is selected not for ornament but for performance: improving air quality, regulating temperature, reducing ambient noise, and creating healthier, more focused work environments. Low-maintenance species ensure resilience and ecological responsibility in the tropical context.
Designed for institutional longevity, the Judicial Tower prioritizes efficiency, adaptability, and operational continuity. Passive strategies replace unnecessary automation; materials are deployed with precision to minimize waste; and backup systems guarantee uninterrupted service.
It is architecture that serves the body, the mind, and the ecosystem—doing more with less, and restoring the connection between civic space and tropical climate.
