Mr. Gardner

thanks for your comments in the NY Sun on our Bank design on Lex and 79th St., we appreciate it. I am the partner in charge at Studio A Architects that worked with the bank on the design. We also collaborated with Ken Lill at KAL Architerctrue in New York on the project. The reason it is two stories incidentally, is that the Bank didnt need more space than that - it wasnt seen as a developmemt opprotunity for them, but as a means of projecting a brand into the community and creating a transparent image.
