The 4 modern courthouses designed by Think Architecture are located on a hilly plot on the top of the settlement area of Zumikon, Switzerland. The typology of the courthouse is a reaction to the strict building regulations of the community, which unable a concentration of the living areas. With the chosen structure a high level of quality and privacy in the indoor and outdoor spaces could be achieved. Instead of an individual sprawl of private gardens a generous, common park landscape connects the ensemble with the natural environment of the neighboring forest.
