The Criminal Court Public Plaza

Project details

Landscape Architect: Gevers Landscape Architecture LTD.
Architect Designer: AS+P (Albert Speer + Partner GmbH)
Developer: RCRC – Royal Commission Of Riyadh City
Location: As-Salam District (Qasr Al-Hokm), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Designed by Speer for RCRC, the Riyadh Criminal Court is defined by its pure cubic form, emphasizing clarity and authority through a monumental, sculpted volume. The façade is wrapped in dense vertical cladding fins, designed to control sunlight while giving the building its distinctive rhythmic texture. These shading elements soften the cube’s mass and create a dynamic pattern of light, shadow, and depth throughout the day.

Landscape by Gevers Landscape Architecture reinforces this purity with clean lines, structured planting, and a formal arrival sequence that enhances the building’s civic presence.
