The Poder Judicial in San Ramón has received an Honorable Mention in the Government Buildings category at The International Architecture Awards 2026, presented by The Chicago Athenaeum and The European Centre.
The 8,000 m² annex tower to the Courts of Justice seeks to dignify governmental architecture as public space, expressing solidity, transparency, accessibility and impartiality. A volcanic stone base anchors the building to its territory, while a central atrium brings daylight and natural ventilation deep into the building, organizing circulation between offices, courtrooms and public services.
The project has also been published by Gooood, Amazing Architecture, Afasia, Archello and e-architect.
