Pacific Design Center
Designed by Argentine architect César Pelli, the 14-acre Pacific Design Center (PDC) campus in West Hollywood opened in 1975 with the 750,000-square-foot Center Blue (nicknamed the Blue Whale). Architect Norma Merrick Sklarek also contributed to the architectural design of the building. Center Green opened in 1988, adding 450,000 square feet. The final phase of the plan, Center Red, opened in 2013 with an additional 400,000 square feet. All of the buildings epitomize Pelli’s slick glass skin design in a Late Modern idiom. The PDC houses the West Coast’s top decorating and furniture market with showrooms, public and private spaces. The Center has 100 showrooms which display and sell 2,200 interior product lines to professional interior designers, architects, facility managers, decorators and dealers.
