Description:
This project series documents the design of a housing complex known as Dovestar in Toronto from1988-1991. The office identified the project number as 8815. This project consisted of a proposed housing complex on the corner of St. Joseph and St. Nicholas Streets, comprised of three components - the Dovestar condominiums, the CityHome building and a Co-op building. Maintaining the historic building facades along St. Joseph Street, the 19-storey Dovestar condominiums would bridge over St. Nicholas Street to connect to the CityHome building as one congruent structure. Across the street from Dovestar, the CityHome building was defined as the first five storeys of the property, also with historic facades at the lower levels, and the remaining storeys were part of the Dovestar condominium. The Co-op building was entirely separate, set apart from the others by a common outdoor garden space. Dovestar was to be a 312 unit condominium complex, approximately 32,000 square metres in size, with retail spaces and two-storey townhouse units on the ground floor. The CityHome building would be 35 units, approximately 3,500 square metres in size, with retail, restaurant spaces, and two-storey townhouse units on the ground floor. Finally, the Co-op building was to be 24 units and approximately 1,971 square metres in size. All three buildings shared 247 parking spaces and recreational areas totalling 2,934 square metres. This project was never built. The project is recorded through drawings and a project model dating from 1988-1991. The drawings are mostly originals and include site plans and surveys, sketches, elevations, plans, sections, and isometrics.

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.
