Scope and Content

This project series documents the interiors of the Creeds store in Toronto from 1989-1990. The office identified the project number as 8926.

This project consisted of renovations to the interiors of the high-end retail store located in Toronto's Manulife Centre at the corner of Bloor and Bay Streets. The store, with entrances from the mall and street, included several smaller boutiques divided by designer, a large fur storage area and work room, a fur salon, a stock room and changing rooms. A major part of this renovation was the creation of a multifunctional court space connected to the rest of the linear boutiquerie via two small staircases. This court could be used for fashion shows, presentations, season displays, and social events. The court had a circular ceiling light fixture, stone-clad piers, stained cherry wood panels and sandblasted steel details. The floors, patterned with black slate and granite, were complimentary to the boutique's concrete and black and silver glass tile floors. Also central to this project was the creation of the Christian Dior boutique at the street entrance.

The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1989-1990. The drawings, mostly originals, consist of sketches, axonometric drawings, sections, plans, elevations, details and schedules. The photographs show the completed store interiors.
