Description:
- A sectional elevation of a small, one-room garden pavilion with a dome and shallow portico. The two columns of the portico support an arch and a coffered barrel vault. On the interior the facing wall is decorated with ornate pilasters and panels set on either side of a central niche housing a sculpted figure (Mars or Minerva) above a couch, or seat. The inside of the dome is richly decorated with coffers that rise spirally to a glazed occulus. The basic architectural forms are drawn mechanically and the details are added freehand.

DR1974:0002:003:001-105
Description:
- This album consists primarily of design development drawings and the architect's copies of the working drawings for Hôtel Soltykoff. The hôtel consisted of a single rectangular pavilion with a central porte cochère and a rear courtyard with an outbuilding. The principal façade facing rue Saint-Arnaud (now rue Volney) and the interior were lavishly decorated. The structure of the hôtel consisted of load-bearing masonry combined with cast-iron columns, iron beams, and interior wood framing. The exterior was finished with cut stone. The album contains plans, elevations, details and sections, and full-scale drawings of the architectural elements, ornamentation, as well as joinery. Many of the drawings and transfer lithographs are inscribed with both the date of the drawing/original and the date of contract. Revisions, which are also often dated, have been made either directly on the drawing or on pieces of paper attached to the sheets. Inscriptions indicate that in some cases these revisions were added after the construction of the building. Also included are preliminary drawings (DR1974:0002:003:028 R/V), and detailed interior views, some of which are partially coloured with watercolour (DR1974:0002:003:049, DR1974:0002:003:069, DR1974:0002:003:078). The drawings and transfer lithographs have been grouped, possibly by the compiler of the album, according to the part of the building represented, and by the type of construction: stonework, woodwork, framework, and ironwork. Unbound material inserted into the album includes four large unbound full-scale preliminary sketches for architectural ornament, possibly for Hôtel Soltykoff (DR1974:0002:003:061 - DR1974:0002:003:064) and two drawings for a terrace and staircase, apparently not for Hôtel Soltykoff (DR1974:0002:003:003 and DR1974:0002:003:042).

Project
AP056.S1.1991.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Phase 2A of work completed for Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1991-1992. The office identified the project number as 9104. This project consisted of interior work for part of the company's headquarters and was the second in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. This phase included office areas for the engineering soft toys department, the creative services department, human resources and legal services, as well as a fabric library, fabric storage room, conference rooms, and a presentation theatre with a curved backdrop. Planning for the next phase and an east wing also began during this time. The project is recorded through drawings and a project model dating from 1988-1992. These are mostly original drawings and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and some construction drawings. Many of the drawings focus on the office furniture.

Project
AP178.S1.1958.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova in Leça de Palmeira, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 9/50. In the past the office identified the project as number 99. The office assigned the dates 1958-1963 for this project. The coastal site for this project was selected by Portuguese architect Fernando Távora. The project was built after the proposal won an architecture competition held by the municipality of Matosinhos in 1958. Távora initiated the project in collaboration with Francisco Figueiredo, and later handed the project over to Siza. In an interview with Eduardo Souto Moura, Moura recounts that Távora gave the project to Siza and five other aids before leaving on vacation (Juan Rodrigues, Carlos Seoane, et al, “Siza by Siza”). In the 1970s, Siza designed the furniture for this project and also worked on the 1990s restoration and renovation work. The project series consists of sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details for the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova as well as sketches of the furniture designed by Siza. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the exterior and interior of the built project, as well as the project site. There are also postcards of the built project and photographs taken by photographers Rui Morais de Sousa, Juan Rodriguez, Alvão (Azevedo & Fernandes), Stitchting Wonen, and Charters. Textual documentation includes correspondence from the Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos, including correspondence addressed to Távora, as well as correspondence from Távora and Siza. Also included are notes and project documentation.
