Projet
AP075.S1.1992.PR05
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Liu Centre for Global Studies at University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in 1994 with architect Arthur Erickson and architectural firm Aitken Wreglesworth Associates. The overwall concept for the project was to design an environmentally responsible building and landscape. Situated at the north edge of a mature costal forest, the main concern of the landscape design was to avoid effecting the existing woodland. Oberlander preserved all existing mature trees on the site and used only native plants and grasses. The design of the building was also though to minimize any impact on the surrounding forest, by avoiding machineries on site or pruning of existing trees. The project also included a green roof, also design by Oberlander. The project was completed in 2000. The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including landscape plans, landscape details and planting plans, working drawings, such as planting plans and details for the green roof, and working drawings for the building used as reference. The project series also comprises a proposal, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with clients, architects and consultants, meetings notes, financial documents, specifications and some promotional material and press clippings on the building. The project is also documented through photographs of landscaping work.

AP075.S1.1961.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Skeena Terrace Low Rent Housing Project, a housing development located on the eastern edge of Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project between 1961 and 1965. The architectural firm in charge of the project was Underwood, McKinley, Cameron, Wilson & Smith Architects. The project was comprised of an eight-storey apartment tower and twenty-seven three-storey maisonettes. Oberlander was in charge of the landscape design for the twelve-acre site. The project initially included the construction of a roadway cutting the site in two, but was never built due to protests from the community. Oberlander's landscape plan included a design for an outdoor terrace and garden areas for the maisonnettes, a community garden and numerous recreational and social spaces. She also designed play scultpures for small children. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans and planting plans, working drawings, including a site plan and planting plans, a specifications addendum, an invitation to the official inauguration of the project, and photographs, which are mostly of the construction site.

AP075.S1.1958.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for her own residence on Olympic street, in Vancouver. Known as the Tick-Tack-Toe House, the Oberlanders designed the residence themselves in 1958-1959, as well as later additions in 1966-1967. The residence is a two-storey house, with the main living area all on the second floor, while the entrance and a part of the utility core is on the ground level. For minimal maintenance and to provide a dry space to play during rainy days, the landscaping included a paved perimeter around the central core. The landscape design included a wall on the west side of the site and tree planting along Olympic Street to block the view and the noise from the street. The project series is made up predominantly of plans of the residence, such as elevations, sections, details and floor plans, and working drawings for the landscaping, including landscape plans, and elevations and details for the garden wall. The project is also documented through photographs of the garden, and exterior and interior views of the house itself. Source: Herrington, Susan.
