The new headquarters creates a unified home for PACE; conceived as a new kind of commercial art gallery where the lines between public and private art display are blurred, delivering a visitor experience more akin to that of a museum. As well as art galleries, there are also spaces for performance art, press previews, indoor and outdoor events, and private dinners. The materials of the building—black volcanic stone, panels of foamed aluminum, and glass over a structural steel and concrete frame—are simple, yet expressive and rich in texture.
