Introduction
Courthouse/room is a place where different legal actions were held, where legal actions are
discussed and dismissed by the law.
In the Philippines, courthouses are usually called Justice Hall. Here in Olongapo City there is a
justice hall that covers district one to three of Zambales. It usually consists of different legal actions
such as general trials, court hearings and even marriage.

II. Problem Statement

The site is near the national road and near the residential area it became the strength of the site to be
accessible but it is also the main reason for the sound to penetrate on the site. Secondly,during rainy
season the common problem in barretto was the flood due to heavy rains.
We came up with a solution that can help to lessen the inconvenience of the natural/manmade disturbance
to the building also,The courthouse should accommodate the needs of its users from the demands and
needs of its clients from the district one up to district 3.
