AP056.S1.1989.PR01
Description:
This project series documents an expansion of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1989. No project number was identifed. This project consisted of the eastward expansion and renovations to the existing high-end retail store. The original design of the store was completed prior to the founding of KPMB, by Bruce Kuwabara and Thomas Payne in 1986. The new space saw the addition of 1000 square feet to the store at the street level and relocation of the entrance doors to accommodate this expansion. An expansion of the lower concourse level also added 1,457 square feet. The new spaces extended the architectural style already established in earlier phases of the store's development. Materials used in this project, as in earlier projects, included steel, glass, rubber, and aluminum, combined with natural wood and stone. This project is considered Phase 3 of the store's development, with 2 future phases to be completed by KPMB Architects soon after. The project is recorded through original drawings and photographs dating from 1989-1991. The drawings consist primarily of sketches, plans, sections, and furnishing drawings. The photographs show the finished interiors.

AP018.S1.1980.PR14
Description:
This project series documents the design of the Victoria and Grey Trust Company office in Stratford, Ontario from 1980-1981. The office identified the project number as 8014. This project consisted of the design of an office building and computer center to be the new head office of Victoria and Grey Trust Company. Originally, two schemes were proposed, both with eleven storeys, but the project was eventually scaled back to five storeys with a basement and penthouse. The building was to be located on Erie Street. This project consisted only of the building's design; it was eventually constructed under a different project number assigned by the office, with changes to the design (see project series AP018.S1.1981.PR16 in this fonds). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1981. The drawings are all reprographic copies, mostly of details, and are arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, tender documentation, pre-design planning, authority documents, inter-office letters, prequalification records and specifications. Box AP018.S1.1980.PR14.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
