Pointe-à-Pitre法院大楼的巨大尺度象征了法律的力量与权威，而通透的外观则象征了开放的精神与法律的平等与透明。建筑的设计旨在通过这种具有反差感的方式，打破人们对于法院冰冷的刻板印象，以温暖的氛围与清晰的几何体量，将该建筑司法体系的严苛规范中解放出来。

Traditionally large and thick as if to express force and power, the walls of the Courthouse in Pointe-à-Pitre evoke openness and transparency. In this way, the building challenges the ice-cold popular image of courts with an apparent warmth, an immediate readability of its forms, and a liberation from the authoritarian codes of judicial architecture.

在本项目中，建筑与城市肌理以及城市的主要路网保持了高度的连续性，同时也与Pointe-à-Pitre的周边建筑环境完美相融。整个法院中所采用的色调提取于当地的环境色彩，尤其参考了场地对面的政府大楼，而铝制遮阳板则反射了加勒比天空的灿烂阳光。建筑所唤起的轻盈之感在一定程度上也与城市中的其他建筑相互呼应，阳台、柱廊和遮阳篷的巧妙设计创造出一种非凡的在地性与身份认同感。

Built in continuity with the urban fabric and the principal alignments of the city, the Courthouse adapts to its relationship with other buildings in Pointe-à-Pitre. The colours used in the project come from the chromatic environment of Pointe-à- Pitre and in particular from the Prefecture building that faces it, while the varying light reflecting from the aluminum sun blocker comes from the sunshine of the Caribbean sky. The feeling of lightness evoked by the building also seeks a proximity with many other buildings in the city, where the finesse of the balconies, colonnades and awnings make for a remarkable sense of identity.

除体量和线条之外，建筑的力量还归功于材料的选择，设计的理念通过材料语言以有机的方式表达出来。这些材料带来的视觉与空间感受，象征了人们与司法系统之间既不遥远也不冷漠的关系，彰显出一种恰到好处的正义感。

Beyond its volumes and lines, the strength of the architecture owes itself to the choice of materials, through which a certain idea of the building is organically expressed. The materials, thanks to the effects they evoke to the gaze and in terms of physical sensations, express the will to establish a sense of justice that is neither remote nor cold.
