Design

Introduction: Heerim suggested a “Glass-Box” building to express the transparent and democratic image the prosecution seeks in the new era.
The transparent glass, through which you can look inside, is the expression of the determination and pride of the prosecution, demonstrating procedural legitimacy and justice to the people and the will of the prosecution to be closer to the people through the thin glass.
Moreover, Heerim focused on the fact that the night view is not a by-product of the day view, but a view that expresses its own image.
Heerim designed the structure to symbolically expose the functions of the interior, such as indirect light and the ceiling, to the exterior, rather than simply allow a light leak from square-shaped windows or installing exterior lighting due to the forces of commercialism.
