Hampton Virginia Circuit Court

The new Hampton Virginia Circuit Court includes a beautiful catwalk suspended from stainless steel structural rods.

The Circuit Courthouse in Hampton, Virginia was

completed in May 2016. The new building replaces a

139-year-old courthouse and brings a completely new

design for user traffic flow.

One of the most significant changes from the

previous building is the inclusion of a space to

welcome the general public through the front

doors and into the lobby.

The new building has a separate entrance for judges

and staff through the back, and another for those

being held in jail.

Visitors through the front door are

greeted by a beautiful suspended

catwalk overlooking the lobby.

The walk, which appears like a

bridge, acts as a transparent

connection between two ends of the

building.

The polished stainless steel material of

the rods compliments the metal and glass

railing components. The catwalk at the

Hampton Circuit Court is a great

example of how unique and lightweight

design can be achieved using tensile

architecture.
