Illustrious heritage features are celebrated at the upgraded Higher Courts in Adelaide. Requiring extensive upgrades across two locations, Hansen Yuncken didn’t just revamp a selection of existing courts but in some cases demolished and rebuilt them – including the careful restoration of the heritage buildings and bluestone facade, which acts as a standout feature to the now contemporary circulation spaces.

Vertical American oak acoustic panelling fashions an elegant and practical feature to each of the six refurbished court rooms and two large criminal courts. With business continuity top priority, vital court proceedings continued as planned with zero noise or power interruptions to the client, while also respecting neighbouring businesses.

Delivering both functionality and level of finish was paramount for the CAA Higher Courts Project

Redevelopment of the existing heritage Supreme Court and the Sir Samuel Way Buildings included technological, public disability access and extensive building upgrades. An upgrade to the Supreme Court Complex involved a refurbishment and refit with new joinery, fittings, loose furniture, lighting and services.

Sir Samuel Way Building Works involved the provision of three new criminal courts with jury and prisoner facilities, created via an extensive refurbishment of level five.
