Excerpt from obituary in Washington Post, 20 October 2011: "Mr. Cohen's architectural career spanned more than three decades. In the early 1950s, he opened his own firm, which became known as CHHKK. It specialized in developments and residential housing. He told The Washington Post in 1972 that his firm had designed and built more than 200,000 homes. Mr. Cohen's company also designed the Crystal City Marriott, the small chapel at the Washington Hebrew Congregation and the Israeli Embassy in Washington. He later served as a consultant for the Charles E. Smith development company into the 1990s."
