Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill is the building architect. The modernist aesthetic is two-dimensional, with two light tones of red granite rising from the ground to the rooftop while framing black tempered glass squares. The cartesian facade is framed by larger red granite panels, extending up all four corners and around the parapet.
