In June 2005, the Supreme Court moved from the old Supreme Court and City Hall buildings into its new premises, which were designed by internationally renowned architects Foster and Partners in partnership with local architectural consultants CPG Corporation. This 72,000-sq-m state-of-the-art complex was designed as a courthouse for everyone, including the disabled, the most vulnerable, the aged and the young.
A modern interpretation of the colonial architecture of the civic district, the Supreme Court building takes its cue from the surrounding landscape. While its design encapsulates a vision for the future, some of its elements provide a connection to its past and heritage. From the terazzo stone of the old columns to the rosa aurora marble of the new panels, natural building materials adorn the new building just like the old. The circular disc, which represents the impartiality of justice, serves as a modern interpretation of the dome of the old building.

The design of the building mirrors the Supreme Court's organisational structure. The courtrooms where High Court hearings take place are contained in the lower levels of the building, from levels two through six. The Court of Appeal, the highest appellate court in the land, is symbolically raised to the apex of the building and housed at the centre of the disc.
