The company is housed in a round bright green building at 8760 West sUNSET bLVD. Previously known as "The Beauty Pavilion", it was built in 1967 for plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Alan Franklyn, who wanted the roof to have skylights in order to illuminate the operating room in the center of the structure. The building was designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, whose work Franklyn had known about for years Although no architect's name is listed on the building permit, the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation in contains a number of his sketches for the two-story clinic, known as the “Centro de Beleza”. In 1964, Niemeyer had been a Communist activist, which caused him to be banned from Brazil; he was also denied entrance to the U.S. in the same year. Working from Paris through California architects by mail, he completed two projects - a house for Anne and Joseph Strick in Santa Monica, and the Beauty Pavillion for Dr. Franklyn.
The building was painted green after Mothersbaugh took ownership of it
