The Design Guide for Courts of Law is a World Bank-funded standards document developed for the Ministry of Justice to support the planning and sizing of judiciary buildings across Romania. Having managed the development original guidelines, I was subsequently engaged independently to revise and improve key components of the document.

Independent work included revising the project requirements and design brief to reflect regulatory changes introduced by reforms to the criminal code and judiciary proceedings, as well as improving the dynamic surface area estimation tool used by beneficiary institutions for building size and cost planning.
