A building that lives many lives
The Tribunal de Paris houses courtrooms, judicial offices, public areas, and a secure holding area within the building. Bringing these functions together creates a demanding people flow environment, with different regulations applying to each area.
Attorneys, judges, litigants, members of the public, court employees, and technical services all need to move through the building, sometimes along entirely different pathways. KONE helped design and deliver the vertical transportation solutions needed to manage these journeys while supporting security and accessibility throughout the building.
“The challenge for KONE was to manage these flows of people in a completely secure way.”
Guillaume Fournier Favre
Managing Director, KONE France
