Both buildings at 32 Maxwell Road (Maxwell Chambers) and 28 Maxwell Road (Maxwell Chambers Suites) were designed by the former Public Works Department’s chief architect, Mr Frank Dorrington Ward. Dorrington also designed the old Supreme Court and old Hill Street Police Station (today’s Ministry of Communication and Information and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth Building). The buildings are representative of the style and architecture of buildings with 171 windows.

The original design of the building was centred on a courtyard partially surrounded by rooms with ample windows to allow for light and air. The design of its curved main entrance facade is a good example of how a building can “turn a corner” and contribute to the visual identity of the street.
