Site

House of Justice is situated in the North-West part of Ozurgeti on Southern side of K. Gamsakhurdia square, on the adjacent site of the local museum of art (not functioning). There is a four hundred seat theatre on the Eastern side of the square, residential building on the Northern and boulevard on Wester sides of the square. Building height is adjusted to the height of the museum, so it creates a symmetrical courtyard between the buildings. There is a route which goes in the middle of the building connecting the square and the street behind it.
