7 Hanover Square, New York, NY

Architect: Norman Jaffe A.I.A.

Production Architect: Emery Roth & Sons

An education more than anything else. We were used to residential scale, and a building 300 feet long was entirely out of our experience.

This dates from a time when architects actually drew the buildings they deisgned rather than modeling them on a computer. It is interesting to see just how accurately the renderings describe the actual building.

This project was one of the best times I had working with my father. Prismacolor pencils and rolls of canary were delivered by the truckload. We were knee deep in tracing paper for weeks at a time, developing scheme after scheme.
