Project
AP018.S1.1971.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Phoenix House of London office building from 1971-1973, located at 439 University Avenue in Toronto. The office identified the project number as 7105. This project consisted of a 23 storey office building for the publishing company Phoenix House of London Ltd. The building included a five-storey base, a 17 storey tower whose levels had less square footage than the base levels, and three basement levels. Two of the basements were designated for parking, while the other was rentable space. The ground floor was to be used for commercial space. Phoenix House would occupy the 21st tower floor and two and a half base floors, while the rest of the space was available for tenants. In total, the building was 269,135 square feet. The client for this project was David S. Owen of Warrick Consultants Ltd., and the materials often refer to this project as an Office Building for David S. Owen. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, material samples and textual records dating from around 1971-1978. There are many original sketches of the building design as well as some reprographic copies used for construction. There are also presentation boards of drawings, a project photograph and material samples. The photographs show the construction progress and the completed project. The textual records include correspondence, meeting and site reports, construction documentation, consultancy records, interoffice letters and documentation, contract data, financial records, and documentation on procuring historical artefacts to display inside the building. File AP018.S1.1971.PR03.017 includes an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
