Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for a hotel and condominium development in Burlington, Ontario in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7601. The project consisted of a study to determine the feasibility of building a hotel and condominium on the historic Brant Inn site, a famous hotel which had closed about a decade previously. The proposed development was approximately 30 storeys with 350 condos, 250 hotel rooms, a convention facility and parking garage. It is unclear from the project materials whether the project was ever built. A project list, created by the office, which accompanied the donation of this fonds referred to this project as Hotel and Condominium Feasibility Study for David S. Owen of Warrick Consultants Limited. The project is recorded through a conference report and presentation boards dating from 1976. The presentation boards show site plans and schemes, while one shows a drawing of the New Brant Inn, prepared by architect Visvalois V. Upenicks.

Description:
This project series documents a site study for the new National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7809. In 1977, Parkin Architects Planners won a limited architectural competition for their design of the new National Gallery of Canada. The selected site for the competition, next to the Ottawa River, was controversial due to its uneven ground and lack of access to main streets in Ottawa. This project consisted of an extended site study for the construction of that building following the announcement of the competition winner if the original site was to be used. This was a brief urban design study to consider appropriate massing, exterior spaces, access, and vistas to and from the proposed building. It also included studying the best use of land next to the new gallery. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1978. The textual records include the predesign programme and schemes, correspondence, notes, meeting reports and research.
