NADA are proud to have been involved in the $73 million Coffs Harbour Justice Precinct project.
The precinct opened in January 2015 and comprises of a modern police station with vertical blocks of colour inspired by local Blackbutt trees; and an open and curvaceous courthouse which takes the horizontality of the canopy of trees as the motive for the facade.
The architects responsible for the contemporary and thought-provoking design, PTW Architects approached NADA to provide a culturally appropriate design to be implemented into the foyer of the new courthouse. Decisions, a design created by Gumbaynggirr artist Brentyn Lugnan, was a most apt design to be used throughout the new courthouse where important decisions are made daily.
The design features strongly throughout the foyer of the courthouse; incorporated into a visually stunning light box standing centrally in the foyer, also evident as safety guard on glass panelling, featured on the reception desk as you enter the foyer and acting as a privacy screen on meeting room glass panelling. The design can also be seen on chairs situated in the jury meeting rooms upstairs in the courthouse.
