DR1974:0002:034:001-082
Description:
- This album consists primarily of preliminary and design development drawings - mostly plans and elevations, as well as some sections and site plans - for ten projects for a country house for comte Treilhard, probably alternative proposals for the same site. Each project typically includes a sheet of notes and area calculations for the house, a principal elevation, and plans for each of the floors. In most cases the drawings for a project are grouped with the sheet of notes and calculations. The proposed location is not indicated, and it has not been determined if any of the projects in this album were constructed. All of the houses are classically-inspired, but vary widely in their size, form, and in the articulation and ornamentation of their façades. Two finished drawings - elevations coloured with wash - are included for project no. 7 (DR1974:0002:034:039 and DR1974:0002:034:040). Also included are a preliminary drawing for a building, possibly a house, on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris for comte Treilhard, and four drawings for a combination stable/granary, possibly for the same client.

Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California: Conceptual drawing, possibly for the parish house
DR1987:0663
Description:
- This drawing is possibly a conceptual drawing for Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California. The area enclosed by the plan is similar to that of the sketch plan for the parish house and cloister on drawing DR1987:0667. If this drawing is for the parish house, then the road at the upper centre of the drawing would be an access road off Narcissa Drive, the northern boundary of the site, while the curve at the bottom would represent Palos Verdes Drive South.

Description:
- There are two drawings for Cudney House on this sheet. The top one is finished and is a perspective of the proposed house set amidst rocks and mountains on the side of a slope, rendered in coloured pencils. That in the lower part of the sheet is unfinished and may have been done in consultation with the clients for it is a sketchy partial plan in graphite. Based on triangles, the plan of the house reflects the angularity of the site shown above.

This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the Home '54 Design Competition for the Canadian Home Journal, in 1954. Oberlander worked on this proposal with architect Norman Rice, who designed the one-storey single-family house. The landscape design consists of a paved outdoor living space directly next to the living room with a curved fixed bench at the back of the house, as well as a quiet area with annual and perennial planting on the east edge of the site and a vegetable garden and sitting area facing the street. The project series contains only two presentation drawings showing floor plans, elevation and axonometric views of the house and landscape plans, and presentation panels of the same two drawings.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Student Housing at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project from 1991-1993 with architectural firm Matsuzaki Wright Architects. The landscape concept consisted in including the student housing building in a native woodland setting. Oberlander integrated the building with the existing woodland by adding native trees around the building and the access pathways and drives. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape concept plans, and landscape plans, and working drawings, such as grading plans, planting plans and landscape sections. It also contains construction drawings for the building used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, such as concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including correspondence with architects, clients and consultants, reports and studies on the site, specifications, financial documents, and photographs of the landscaping.
