The 52-story (779 foot) building dominates the San Francisco skyline with its bulk and dark color,and was designed by Myron Goldsmith and Mark Goldstein. On the entie length of its rise, sawtooth bays on a polished dark-granite skin masterfully pick up the late afternoon sun, turning the tower (at least for brief moments) from a menacing presence above the white city into a purple-hued march into night. Massive piers support a glass curtain wall on the separate low-rise banking hall. Both tower and hall are set within a raised and austere plaza reached by a wide cascading stairway

600 California Street Building (1990)
Inside, this office highrise features a mural by Peter Llyn depicting the dense hilltop city San Francisco might have been; outside, it suffers from over-detailing and a senseles interpretation of the bay window for an office building.
