Description:
This project series documents the Edifício de Escritórios Ferreira de Castro Hotel in Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 67/80. The office assigned the dates 1989-1990 to this project. The project consisted of a feasibility study for a hotel located on Avenida Dr. António José de Almeida, the site where Siza realized the Edifício de Escritórios Ferreira de Castro for another client in the years that followed (see project series AP178.S1.1990.PR10 in this fonds). This project is documented through drawings, specifications, notes, construction permit documentation, air conditioning documentation and correspondence. The drawings, which are largely reprographic copies, include sketches, plans, details, sections and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings.

Description:
This project series documents a proposed mixed-use development at the corner of Phoebe and Soho Streets in Toronto from 1995-1997. The office identified the project number as 9513. This project proposed a large development on approximately 75,000 square feet of land that would host condominiums, parking areas, common outdoor spaces, retail and other amenities. Several schemes were examined that varied in the number of buildings, their configuration on the site, and on specific amenities that would be provided. The project was commissioned by The Wittington Group, but was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and some accompanying textual records dating from 1995-1997. The drawings are mostly original sketches and presentation drawings.

Description:
This project series documents the design of a residence for Mr. Charles Taylor and his wife in North York, Ontario in 1975. The office identified the project number as 7513. This project consisted of two schemes for the home, both of which included a swimming pool, tennis courts and visitor parking. The first scheme showed a layout built on a diagonal axis in a zigzagging U-shape and the second had a more classic layout, arranged in an L-shape. It is unclear from the materials if this project was ever built. The project is recorded through drawings and correspondence dating from 1975. The drawings include sketches, sections and floor plans recording both proposed schemes.

This project series documents a park in Oakville, Ontario in 1994. The office identified the project number as 9401. This project was the winning entry in a competition to design a park in an area known as the Uptown Core, which was undergoing major transformations at the time. The park, now known as Oak Park, stretched several blocks north-east from the Sixth Line. The large part of the design included a greenhouse pavilion overlooking a lake, accompanied by a bridge that extended south-west towards a wooded area. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation watercolour paintings dating from around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and primarily include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations and perspectives.
