Description:
This project series documents the site development of an office building for J. Douglas Crashley in downtown Toronto from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7618. During this time, J. Douglas Crashley, a prominent Toronto entrepreneur, sought to develop an office building in downtown Toronto. The site was located at the corner of Front and York Streets, with the project consisting of a proposed eight storey office building with retail spaces and underground parking. This site development also proposed connections to nearby attractions such as the CN Tower, Union Station and Congress Centre. The project is often referred to as the Walker House Hotel, due to the fact that it was the building located on the property at this time. Three years earlier, in 1973, J.D. Crashley had commissioned a site investigation of various locations in downtown Toronto for his office building, including this site, which was completed under a different project number assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1973.PR13, also described in this fonds). The project is recorded through correspondence dating from 1977.

Description:
This project series documents alterations and additions to the home of Conrad and Shirley Black in North York, Ontario from 1980-1982. The office identified the project number as 8007. This project consisted of extensive alterations to the interior of the four-floor Black residence, as well as additions on all sides of the exterior facade. This project also included landscaping to the surrounding property. The extended exterior was finished in brick. Alterations and upgrades were made to almost every room in the house. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1980-1984. The majority of original drawings show elevations and brick coursing plans for the new exterior. Photographic materials show the exterior of the residence before the project, as well as construction progress photos during the project. The textual records include correspondence, contract data, site and meeting reports, tender documents, design consultancy records, financial records, supplementary instructions, change orders, specifications and project notebooks. Box AP018.S1.1980.PR07.008 contains an index to the textual materials, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the Sheff Residence at 105 Glen Road in Toronto from 1997-2001. The office identified the project number as 9727. This project consisted of a large home for architect Gerald Sheff and his wife Shanitha Kachan. The work included the demolition of a single-storey dwelling already on the property to create a roughly 7,900 square foot, mixed-level home. This project investigated multiple schemes for the residence, which looked at different room configurations and placements, different building heights, and different levels of finish for certain rooms. Built overlooking a ravine, the house had a stone veneer exterior with accents of wood siding and large glass windows. The home had a maximum height of two-storeys with a basement and included a swimming pool and backyard deck. This residence won the Ontario Association of Architect's Award of Excellence in 2003. The project is recorded through a model and drawings dating from 1996-2000. The majority of the drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are included. There are also many drawings of furnishings including closets, benches and custom furniture.

Description:
This project series documents the federal women's prison in Kitchener, Ontario, now called The Grand Valley Institution for Women, from 1992-1994. The office identified the project number as 9227. This project, built for Public Works Canada and Correctional Services Canada, consisted of a large, main prison building with nine small cottages lining the property. The main building included the admission and discharge area, food services, recreation spaces and spirituality centre, as well as an area for prisoners requiring enhanced security. The spirituality room was a window-rimmed rotunda that pierced the slanted roof of the main stucco building. The smaller cottages were wood-sided with aluminum windows and could house eight people. While many were built to house eight prisoners, some designs replaced prisoner's rooms with children's bedrooms for inmates who had children staying with them. There was also a large, green space in the centre of all the buildings, with plans to build a baseball diamond, daycare building and an additional cottage in the future. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1992-1995. The drawings and mostly originals and include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings.
