Initially intended as a courtroom remodel at Paradise Valley’s Town Hall, the project evolved into a new court building based on recommendations from Town representatives. DFDG’s creative design for the facility incorporated similar materials, forms, and colors to create a cohesive environment. The functional layout enhances security for visitors, judges, and staff while maintaining an open and welcoming layout.
The 6,000-square-foot facility blends seamlessly into the Town campus’ architectural vernacular by incorporating elements from the nearby police and fire stations. The exterior architecture features a rhythm of stone, glass, and steel, creating harmony both inside and out. Inside, the sloped ceiling and striking angles in the courtroom reinterpret traditional judicial design with modern sensibility.

“From programming through construction documents, the DFDG design team was amicable and reliable at meetings, phone conferences, and during site visits. They were always timely and flexible when working through solutions during construction administration.” – James Shano, Public Works Director, Town Engineer
