DR1983:0859
Description:
The plan of the building in pen and black ink and grey wash over graphite was executed by a draughtsman in Soane's office on the basis of pin-pricks transferring the design from another sheet. Soane's changes to this initial plan concern the addition of saucer domes in the main hall, and recesses in the "Eat. Room", which resulted in a change in the position of the fireplace in "Mr. Rs Room". The front porch was widened, presumably from the Doric version shown by Dorothy Stroud (1984, pl. 150) to one which includes "trelliage", showing a concern for setting this rural building in its landscape. This change, and its reflection in drawings in the Soane Museum (Drawer 4, set 4, Items 14-24) are discussed by Pierre du Prey (1986).

AP206.S1.1982.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a meditation and yoga kendra complex for Yog Sadhna Samiti in the Saket area of Meerut, India from 1982-1983. The project consisted of a U-shaped building with a round meditation hall located between the arms of the U. An outdoor veranda ran through the floor plan, connecting four different volumes. One volume was the meditation hall, another was a stage and large hall, and the other two contained rooms such as a doctor's office, bathtubs, well-being facilities and a library. There are multiple schemes in this project that show different room configurations and uses, but all of which follow a similar exterior envelope. This project is recorded through plans, elevations, sections and a perspective dating from 1982-1983.

Description:
This project series documents terminal 2 at Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1967-1972. The office identified the project number as 67150. This project consisted of the second stage of phase two of the building's construction. The three-storey terminal had a linear design with 31 gates and was commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services. Terminal One, known as Aeroquay One and also designed by John B. Parkin Associates, could no longer accommodate the growing number of passengers and the wingspan of larger jets. This terminal was constructed to meet the new needs of the airport. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which include a set of plans, sections, details and elevations.

Description:
This project series documents a proposal for Phat Studios in New York City from 1996-1997. The office identified the project number as 9618. This project, designed for record label Def Jam Records, was to be built on the corner of Jamaica Avenue and 160th Street in Queens. The design would then potentially be replicated for Def Jam in Los Angelos and Atlanta. The project would consist of a recording studio, restaurant, comedy club, listening lounge and retail space for label co-founder Russel Simmon's Phat Farm clothing brand. This project was never realized. The project is recorded through drawings and a photograph of the existing site dating from 1996-1997. The drawings are mostly original sketches but some digital renderings of the project are also included.
