AP018.S1.1980.PR09
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and its signage for Marathon Realty in Toronto at the corner of York and Front Streets from 1980-1984. These materials are arranged under two project subseries based on the project numbers assigned by the creating office. The project numbers assigned were 8009 and 8009-8214A. The first subproject consisted of the design and construction of the office building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS1 for more detail) and the second subproject documented the installation of signs to the top of the building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS2 for more detail). This building, originally owned by Marathon Realty, became known as University Place and would eventually become the headquarters of CitiBank and be renamed Citigroup Place. The materials refer to the building primarily as University Place. These two subprojects are recorded through drawings, photographic materials, textual records and material samples dating from 1980-1987.

Description:
When the Rotterdam Building Inspectorate, the Buowpolitie, merged with the municipal housing authority, the Rotterdam Woningdienst, M.J.I. de Jonge van Ellemeet was appointed as head in 1923. Van Ellemeet commissioned Oud to decorate his study in the Rotterdam town hall. The study was part of the director's suite, which consisted of one large room, divided into separate parts. Oud contributed designs for a desk, an office chair, a conference table and six chairs, although the conference chairs were presumably never built. The desk includes a heavy wooden top and metal frame; the office chair has a rounded back and armrests of red leather and a seat of rounded back and straight front. Researchers have noted the similarities between Oud's chair and an earlier design of Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand in 1929. The chair is covered in leather, has chromium legs and a rounded back (Taverne et al. 2001, 380). Project series includes drawings of designs for plans and one photograph of office furniture for M.J.I de Jonge van Ellemeet.

CI005.S1.1937.PR1
Description:
In 1937, the Bataafsche Import Maatschappij (The Batavian Import Company), established a building programme for new headquarters within The Hague. The company wished to create office space for 600 employees. The company invited competition entries from four architects, including Oud. Oud's design was approved in 1939 and included a rectangular block of rooms oriented around a central corridor with office spaces separated by partitions. The building was surrounded by a garden. Oud also created designs for a possible future expansion and later designed office furnishings. While construction was interrupted by the war, the company proceeded with minimum construction until its restoration and continued expansion. Oud assisted with restoration after its bombing by Allied forces in 1945. The erected building was criticised for its traditional decorative patterns (Taverne et al. 2001, 411-414). Project series includes plans for the Shell Building, as well as a photograph of the building facades and one of the furniture.

Description:
This project series documents a Supermarket for the food chain Darrigo's in Toronto, Ontario from 1976-1971. The office identified the project number as 7604. The office also worked on a sub-project as part of this project which they identified as 7604-D. This sub-project appears to be the demolition of an existing building of Darrigo Realty before the constuction of the new one designed by Parkin Architects Planners. The material for this sub-project is also arranged within this project series. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1981. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, mechanical, electrical and structural drawings. Textual records includes correspondence with client, contractors, sub-contractors or consultants, also well as tenders, inspection reports, meeting reports and change orders. Box AP018.S1.1976.PR03.001 includes an index to the textual records created by the office.
