California Teachers Association Chic

I remember this building rising in the early 2000s in downtown Sacramento because it had to fit a really tight space next to the fortress architecture to the left of it - known as 925 L Street. I've always liked it, six stories serving as the Government Relations Headquarters for the powerful California Teachers Union.

The architects express some pride in their creation here, as do the builders here. 

I've tried to learn more online about the design style and locals' opinions about it. But I find almost nothing about this little gem. It's one of the great overlooked buildings in the "power and money" square mile surrounding the Capitol.
