AP056.S1.1988.PR01
Description:
This project series documents an expansion of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1988. The office identified the project number as 18732. This project consisted of the westward expansion of the high-end retail store. The original design of the store was completed prior to the founding of KPMB, by Bruce Kuwabara and Thomas Payne in 1986. Connected by stairs, the original store was located at the street level, whereas this new space was located on a lower concourse level. The rack system that ran the perimeter of the store was continued in the extension and a new cash counter was added. This project also included the design of new display furnishings for the store. The project is recorded through original drawings and photographs dating from 1987 to around 1989. The drawings consist of sketches, plans, sections, axonometric drawings, elevations, details, and electrical drawings. Many of these drawings are for the store's furnishings and architectural elements such as stairs and walls. The photographs show the finished interiors.

Description:
This project series documents an expansion of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1989. The office identified the project number as 9109. This project consisted of the expansion of the high-end retail store whose original design was completed prior to the founding of KPMB, by Bruce Kuwabara and Thomas Payne in 1986. The new space was made to accommodate the Hugo Boss Store within the Marc Laurent Store. The store consisted of a street level space connected by stairs to a lower concourse level, with the new store space added at the street level. The new space extended the architectural style already established in earlier phases of the store's development. The new area had granite and honed area stone flooring, aluminum racks and display cases, sandblasted glass display walls, and imbuya veneer change rooms and panel doors. This project is considered Phase 4 of the store's development, with 1 future phase to be completed by KPMB Architects soon after. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1991-1992. The drawings are mostly originals and include sections, elevations, floor and ceiling plans, details, axonometric studies and perspectives. Also present are drawings of custom furnishings designed for the store such as display cases, racks and counters, and architectural elements such as walls, doors and stairs.

Description:
- Design for the front elevation of a one story building with a pitched roof. The surface of the structure is covered with patterns, making it difficult to distinguish the architectural forms, but there appears to be a two-column portico with a triangular pediment above the doorway.

Description:
This project series documents the general design for Crabtree & Evelyn stores across the Unites States from 1997-1998. The office identified the project number as 9716.

It was first implemented in Philadelphia, with subsequent stores in Roseville, Minnesota, Farmington, Connecticut and Raleigh, North Carolina following a similar design. These stores had custom display furnishings and fixtures including leaf-shaped tables, wavy tables, round cash counters, curved wood shelves in the corners and beech wood and sandblasted glass shelves lining the walls. The project is recorded through drawings and accompanying textual records dating from 1997-1998. The drawings include sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives, furnishings, details and construction drawings.
