Project
AP056.S1.1992.PR07
Description:
This project series documents the renovation to an already existing store for the Oasis Parfumerie in Oakville, Ontario. The firm identified the project number as 9223. The store was formerly occupied by Irene Hill Just Petites Ltd. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara and Shirley Blumberg, consisted of 3,000 square feet of retail and service space for the sale of cosmetics, fragrances, environmental products, gifts and spa treatment services. Materials used throughout the store included maple flooring, Piasentina granite floor slabs, and display units of European beech and figured maple veneers. The project is recorded mostly through drawings, including sketch plans, showing variations for the layout of the store, as well as sketches for furnishings and the entrance of the store. Also included are three photographs of the interior of the store.
