AP056.S1.1988.PR01
Description:
This project series documents an expansion of the Marc Laurent store at 110 Bloor Street West in Toronto in 1988. The office identified the project number as 18732. This project consisted of the westward expansion of the 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. Connected by stairs, the original store was located at the street level, whereas this new space was located on a lower concourse level. The rack system that ran the perimeter of the store was continued in the extension and a new cash counter was added. This project also included the design of new display furnishings for the store. The project is recorded through original drawings and photographs dating from 1987 to around 1989. The drawings consist of sketches, plans, sections, axonometric drawings, elevations, details, and electrical drawings. Many of these drawings are for the store's furnishings and architectural elements such as stairs and walls. The photographs show the finished interiors.

AP144.S2.D39
Description:
File documents an unexecuted proposal for a one-storey farmhouse located in Trucklehill, near Wraxall Park, Wiltshire, England. Interior is organized around a large central living room, and the need for passageways is eliminated. Material from an adjacent barn, slated for demolition, was to be used for the lower structure of the house, and installed by local labour, while the prefabricated aluminum superstructure was to be constructed off site (Cedric Price-Works II). Plans for the installation of a central heating system in an existing residential structure are also part of the file and relate to the project by client and possibly geographical location. However this residence is not part of the site plan. Presentation drawings were published in Price, Cedric. 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 52. Material in this file was produced between 1961 and 1962. File contains presentation drawings, reference drawings, and textual records.

Description:
Series 2, Witte Arts Center, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 2000 – 2002, documents the development of a project (unrealized) by Office d’A in response to a real estate brief for a floor of artists’ studios supported by a street level gallery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The design for the Witte Arts Center addresses functional architectural concerns like light and circulation through elements such as suspended skylights and an open-air staircase. For the staircase in particular, corbelled brick patterning around the interior stairs creates a distortion of the building’s façade nicknamed “the smile.” The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from the pre-design to design development phases of the project, a model, and photographic materials. Textual records in the series include correspondence, meeting notes and vendor catalogues. Digital material consists of CAD drawings, 3D models and renderings, images of the model and drawings, correspondence and other documents.

Drawings include fabrication drawings for a bunk bed, dresser, bunk bed tables, wardrobe and retractable desk; perspective and isometric views of proposed bedroom layouts; and construction details of manufactured "Dexion slotted aluminum angle hardware." (Price with Murray 1971, 35). Material from this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 35.
