Project
AP075.S1.1995.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for proposed improvements to the garden of the Rotman Residence on Forest Hill Road in Toronto, Ontario. Orberlander worked on this project in 1994. The Georgian style residence was originally design by architect John Lyle in 1924. As the residence was sited perpendicularly to the street, Oberlander's landscape concept was to create a series of garden from the street to the back of the property, which included terraces for entertaining at the front of the property, a rose garden and lawn for strolling. She also created a birch trees walk with ascending grass stairs. Oberlander was later commissioned in 1996-1997 to combine the existing garden with an extensionof the property after the acquisition of a lot next door by the owners of the residence. She extended the birch walk and created a oval-shaped lawn accessed through a wrought iron gate. The project series also contains material related to later restorations to the garden, including an alteration to the garden in 2013 to improve the view from the living room. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans, planting plans, and grading plans, and also a landscape presentation drawing.The project is also documents through photographs of the landscaping, research material, correspondence with clients and contractors, concept notes by Oberlander, specifications, and meetings notes.

DR1980:0060:002
Description:
- This first floor plan, with the perspective (DR1980:0060:001) and the second floor plan (DR1980:0060:003) form a set of early presentation drawings. The scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file, de Long report). This plan indicates reworking in the porch/stair and service entrance areas which appear in Hitchcock's book (plate 201) and were built as sketched. The fireplace and seat in the living room were shifted and subsequently built as sketched, as was the ice room. The wall added to the right was shifted back in the final Hitchcock plan. The entry behind the livingroom has sketched-in doors at the rear, as seen in the Hitchcock drawing -- other doors do not yet appear, nor does the garden court. The house became more private in the final adjustments to the site. Wright's further changes are: the wall extending left was crossed out; a freehand wall is roughed in to right; heavy masonry walls are roughed in to left over former wall. (There are other miscellaneous markings and crosshatchings in the reworking.)
