An existing crescent of tall Holm Oak trees and a 150-year-old Himalayan Cedar along the western edge of the site were integrated into our design and helped to establish a civic scale befitting that of a County Hall. The trees together with the building give form to a new civic space, the 'public foyer' of the County Hall which is part internal, part external. Visitors arrive in a green-floored 'piazza' colonnaded with the trunks of Holm Oaks and roofed with their foliage. The five-storey high atrium, defining the edge of the space is the meeting point of public and private, a 'vertical main street', extending in an open gesture towards the community.
