Project
AP018.S1.1956.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the design of the residence of J.D. Crashley at 3 Old George Place in Toronto, Ontario from 1956-1965. The office identified the project number as 5614. This project consisted of the design for a T-shaped, one storey home for J.D. Crashley, who was a prominent Toronto entrepreneur and president of the Art Gallery of Ontario in the 1970s. Only the garage was visible from the street, with one of the stems of the T extending over into the adjacent ravine, creating two levels to the residence. The exterior of the residence was largely field stone with brick on some walls. The construction of this home is recorded under a separate project number, assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1959.PR03 in this fonds). Today, the house enjoys special heritage status in Ontario, although the highly controversial addition of a second floor was recently completed. The project is recorded through drawings dating from approximately 1956-1959. The majority of these drawings are original design drawings.

Project
AP056.S1.1992.PR03
Description:
This project series documents interior design work for Creative Copy and Design in Toronto in 1992. The office identified the project number as 9203. This project consisted of interiors for the high resolution imaging company, Creative Copy and Design, located on the ground floor of King James Place at 145 King Street East. The office was made up of an unfinished ground floor and existing mezzanine at the back, totalling 2630 square feet. The ground floor interiors consisted mainly of the reception area, which was visible from the sidewalk through the office's glass storefront. The reception area was comprised of two long, boomerang-shaped counters, and one rectangular counter behind them, made of wood with plastic laminate tops. The wood was stained to match the corrugated wood wall that ran the length of the room, directly behind the three counters. A large, ellipse-shaped lighting fixture made from fibre glass panels and steel stud framing was a prominent feature above the reception area. Bathrooms and a processing area were located behind the wall, as well as a stair case leading to the mezzanine, which contained work stations and an additional processing area. The program also included electrical and mechanical installation. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1992. The drawings consist of sketches, a floor plan, and a set of construction drawings with specifications and schedules. The photographs show the completed project.
