When the 1992 EU Summit decided that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) should remain permanently in Luxembourg, this gifted the country a building boom. A new architectural concept was required for the ECJ's home, the Palais de Justice, to accommodate its staff of around 2,000 people. The accession of further member states was also considered, but any expansion could not precipitate extensive changes to the existing architecture. Following the decision in 2002 on a fourth major expansion of the ECJ, French architect Dominique Perrault devised a visionary concept that harmoniously integrated the old building and extended it with two towers. And so the Kirchberg plateau to the north-east of the city became home to the country's biggest and, at 350 million euros, most expensive building project.
