More because of the interior then, whish somehow is designed like a corridor: to reach the courthall from the main entrance you have to pass the whole building. The only ornamental feutures is the windows painted in differnet colours (aluminium and red on the picture, also yellow I think) plus the occasional balcony breaking the facade.
This one's on the minimalistic end of brutalism.
