Paul Hastings Tower is one half of a pair of identical twin towers near the western edge of downtown Los Angeles. It takes the form of a large dark grey monolith, interrupted several times by horizontal black bands. These black bands are the mechanical levels of the building, where air conditioning, elevator, and other support equipment is housed.
Because of these bands, the buildings are visually broken up into segments, making them easier on the eyes, and less imposing even though they are nearly 700 feet tall.
This building is responsible for both making history, and destroying it. As part of City National Plaza, it was the first major commercial business development in downtown Los Angeles. But in order for the plaza to be built, the historic Richfield Building, regarded as a local landmark and an art deco masterpiece, had to be razed.
