Pacific Design Center, Red Building
West Hollywood, CA, United States
The
Red Building completes the Pacific Design Center, a West Hollywood
landmark that spans nearly 40 years of design and construction. With the
addition of the Red Building, the horizontal Blue Building and the chamfered
Green Building are reinvented as elements in a new composition around the
Pacific Design Center’s plaza. The building will add 37,200 square meters
(400,000 square feet) of office space and parking for nearly
1,500 cars.
The
most dynamic of the three, the Red Building is composed of two curved, sloping
towers atop seven levels of parking. The six- story West Tower slopes inward
against the Hollywood Hills to the north. The eight- story East Tower continues
the gesture, curving upward and culminating in a high point to
the east.
Between
the two towers will be a seventh- floor courtyard planted with palm trees.
The walls facing the Palm Court will be of the same technology as the red
walls, but will use white glass to give the courtyard a light, ethereal
quality. This outdoor space will offer views of the Hollywood Hills to the
north, and the Green and Blue Buildings and public plaza to the south. The West
Tower is raised above grade to provide vehicular entrance to a covered
motor court below the Palm Court. The walls of the Motor Court will be of
lighted channel glass. Each tower will have separate lobbies at both the Motor
Court and Palm Court levels.
Like
the previous two Pacific Design Center buildings, the Red Building will be clad
in glass. While the glass of the earlier buildings was opaque, the façade of
the Red Building includes both transparent and fritted glass. To create
a taut, all- glass appearance, the red glass is held in its aluminum
frames with silicone.
