Project
AP056.S1.1987.PR07
Description:
This project series documents alterations to Tudhope Studios located at 284 King Street East in Toronto from 1987-1988. The office identified the project number as 18733. This project, headed by Marianne McKenna, consisted of alterations to the interiors and exterior of a two-storey building, originally constructed in 1947. The building, owned by design firm Tudhope Associates Inc., had approximately 12,758 square feet of space, 19 of which were added on the second floor during the alterations. The building's lower floor was used as a wholesale area, the first floor as offices, and the third floor as design studios and workshops. The interiors used a mix of carpeting, vinyl tiles, epoxy terrazzo and unfinished concrete for the floors. The interior walls were largely painted gypsum board while the exterior facade was masonry and stucco. The project also included the design and construction of furnishings inside the offices, such as signs, lighting fixtures, desks and the boardroom table. The project is recorded through drawings and a photograph of the finished exterior dating from 1987-1988. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, details, perspectives, axonometric and furnishing drawings for design and construction. The detail drawings are for the site, exterior, schedules, interiors, stairs and millwork.

AP056.S1.1995.PR10
Description:
This project series documents new offices for entertainment company Alliance Communications in Toronto from 1995-1996. The office identified the project number as 9514. This project began with an investigation into the feasibility of renovating an existing six-storey building located at 1155 Yonge Street. The site was eventually changed to 121 Bloor Street East, where three consecutive floors of the existing high-rise were renovated for the new offices. The 16th floor contained executive offices with reception at the 15th floor and the major production department below that on the 14th. The office interiors consisted of wood veneer paneling, steel and stone. These materials, along with rubber flooring and glass panels added to the loft style of the open office space.[1] At the ground-level of the office tower, a screening room, restaurant and patio were proposed, although it is unclear if these renovations were ever completed. The project is recorded through drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1995-1996. There are a large number of drawings for the proposed offices on Yonge Street, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections and perspectives. These drawings are arranged before the Bloor Street materials are distinguished in the file-level descriptions. The Bloor Street office drawings include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and furnishings.
