ECCC Courtroom

Honoring the building’s significant history tied to the Khmer Rouge Trials, the design blends flexibility and purpose in collaboration with UNAKRT, which provides technical support to the ECCC. The space functions as a courtroom, lecture hall, and meeting room, prioritizing adaptability and smooth transitions between roles. The interior supports law students in Phnom Penh with a focus on sobriety and simplicity, aligning with the serious humanitarian and ethical discussions related to the Khmer Rouge Trials and justice issues. Beyond practical use, the design merges architectural intent with civic purpose and stands as an example for future legal professionals while honoring the institution’s legacy.
