This 140,000 gsf, seven-court
facility may be seen as a starting point in the redevelopment of this
quadrant in downtown White Pains. The Classical style is used to be
establish a sense of continuity with the best of Federal courthouse
architecture. A brick and limestone design uses materials in a traditional
way, common to many of the finer, older buildings in downtown White
Plains. The columns and portico clearly reads as the main entrance facing
south. The "H"-shaped plan sets the judge chambers and jury
rooms in the four corners. This plan idea is symbolically further celebrated
at the skyline--here, four open loggias create a delicate silhouette.
