Project
AP075.S1.1986.PR08
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Russell Residence in Lake Bay, near in Tacoma, Washington, United States. Oberlander worked on this project in 1986-1989 with architect Arthur Erickson. The project consisted in building a new house and garden on the 300 acres family farm, located on a promotery overlooking Puget Sound. The landscape design included the planting of rhododendrons nestled into the woodland along one side of the looped drive leading to a parking area, and an herbs and vegetables garden next to the house, near the dining room. Oberlander created a meadow area at the centre of the loop entrance drive with spring bulbs and summer wildflowers providing interest at all seasons. The project was completed in 1989. The project series contains sketches, design development drawings, including plans of the herbs and vegetables gardens, planting plans and schematic landscape plans, and working drawings, including planting plans, site plans and grading plans. The project is also documented through Oberlander's concept notes, research material, landscape specifications, correspondence with client and architects, and financial documents. The project series also comprises photographs of Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and other visiting the site, and photographs of the construction of the residence and landspace work.

AP144.S2.D114
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful entry in a competition to design a structure for the British National Gallery, on a site adjacent to its building at Trafalgar Square, London, England. The structure's top floor would be comprised of top-lit galleries for the National Gallery, while the lower part would house a private development. A file (DR2004:1156) is probably misnumbered with the Tate project (AP144.S2.D171). Material in this file was produced in 1982 and in 1987, but predominantly in 1982. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, panels, and textual records.
