Government / Judicial

Creating iconic environments that build communities.

Our designs reflect the communities they serve while evoking the sacred responsibility of the governmental system. With more than three decades of experience designing governmental facilities, our team of award-winning architects, engineers, and interior designers create iconic structures that are sophisticated, timeless, high-performing, and—most importantly—secure.

We understand how to minimize long-term operating costs while our in-house security experts seamlessly integrate best security practices into your design. We guide stakeholders through a thoughtful discovery process that optimizes functionality for the public, judges, juries, and participants. Given the long lifecycle of justice facilities, our intentional designs provide the flexibility needed to grow with your community and serve as a welcoming space to actively engage with one another.

“Designers need to listen to and give life to the needs and wishes of the client. In addition, it is critical that designers push further to skillfully enlarge the vision of their clients. This is an interpersonal art form, and frankly, these personal interactions are what I enjoy most in my dealings with SSOE.”
