Stripes are slimming and in the case of this building, they also attract attention.

Instead of going with tinted glass or imported marble this building uses vertical structural elements to draw attention. Because of its height and location it's visible from a number of surprising places around downtown Los Angeles like a giant bar code in the sky. Coincidentally, it also pops up in a number of Hollywood disaster movies.

Design-wise, the building is a plus, with three axes of offices, and a fourth sporting both offices and a column of mechanical elements.

  Detailing at base reminicent of MvdR and SOM buildings. Decorative nature of concrete fins on outside a departure from orthodox modernism of the period, interesting considering Periera's later structurally expressionistic works.
