Project
AP075.S1.1999.PR05
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the garden of Linda Yorke and Gordon Forbes in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in the second half of the 1990s. She worked with architect André Rowland who was in charge of designing an addition to the residence designed in the late 1940s by Ned Pratt from architectural firm Sharp, Thompson, Berwick and & Pratt. The project consisted in redesigning the entire yard and adding a play area for children. Oberlander included terraces next to the addition to the house, planting beds and planters. The play area included a tower house accessible by a rope bridge, a two levels playhouse with wooden porch, a slide, a fireman pole and a ladder, and a small water canal with stone edges and activated by a hand pump. The project series contains landscape sketches, design development drawings, including a landscape concept plan, details, sections and elevations for play area and play structures, and building plans used as reference. The project is also documented through correspondence, including with clients, suppliers and consultants, concept notes by Oberlander, plant lists, financial material, research material, and photographs of the landscaping.

Project
AP075.S1.1952.PR03
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the garden of Mr. & Mrs. W. A. Rahill's private residence in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. The residence is located in Bryn Gweled Homesteads, a small cooperative community in Upper Southampton Township. Oberlander worked on this project from 1952-1953. The garden design consists of a meadow area and a play area on the front lawn of the house. The play area, surrounded by trees and strubs, includes a badminton field and a vegetable patch. This project series only contains a presentation drawing for the landscape design with a plant list.

Project
AP056.S1.1995.PR09
Description:
This project series documents the Forbes residence on Richmond Street West in Toronto in 1995. The office identified the project number as 9521. From the drawings, the project seems to be a proposal for a two-storey house. It also seems to investigate multiple schemes for the residence, looking at different room and building configurations. The home had a maximum height of two-storeys with a basement and was conceived to be 3607.5 square feet. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1995. The majority of the drawings are sketches, but plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included.

Housings
AP185.S1
Description:
This project, 1998-2000, documents the conception and design of Housings, mass-customized prefabricated residences, by the architecture firm KOL/MAC. KOL/MAC began by digitally blending a typical 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonial house with a range of other objects or use cases. The result was six related houses that explored the relationship between customization and mass prefabrication. Housings relates to KOL/MAC’s exploration of what they call chimerical projects, where form and function are combined to create uniquely hybridized structures. The project records are largely in CAD formats, including Alias Wire, Maya, and IGES files; there are a number of raster image formats, including TIF, Alias pix, Mac Pict images, and JPEG. The materials include renderings, wireframe drawings, and still images of the various Housings structures. There is also a body of material from and related to the concrete manufacturer, YTONG, as well as a small amount of video material, which is only partially accessible due to format obsolescence.
