Description:
This project series documents a non-profit, cooperative housing development in Toronto from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7606 This project investigated four schemes located on Queen's Quay at the shore of Lake Ontario for the Labour Council Development Foundation. The building was referred to as MT 27, because it was to replace the existing marine terminal 27 building. The schemes included a series of V-shaped buildings arranged in S formations, a more classic series of rectangular buildings mixed on the property with hexagonal shaped buildings, and one with just hexagonal buildings. These schemes, arranged on the 3.7 acre site, ranged in size from three to nine storeys and included apartments of varying sizes. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1977. The drawings include site plan schemes, typical unit plans and sections, while the textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports and the project proposal.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Tip Top Tailors building on Lake Shore Boulevard in Toronto in 1994. The office identified the project number as 9402. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, consisted of a proposal for a new, mixed-use development on the site behind the iconic Tip Top Tailors building, originally built in the 1920s. Situated on the shoreline of Lake Ontario, the main tower of the development would have a boat shaped silhouette to reflect its nautical surroundings. The base would consist of office, retail and communal spaces, while the tower would hold residential apartments, a restaurant and health club. The project also proposed renovations to the existing building, including the addition of three penthouse floors clad in metal and glass and back from the other levels to respect the character of the existing concrete building. In total, 382,390 square feet of new construction was proposed along with 258,170 square feet of renovations and additions. This competition entry was never realized. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation paintings dating from on or around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and perspectives.

Description:
This project series documents alterations and extensions made to the Toronto Sun building in downtown Toronto in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7633. This project consisted primarily of an extension to the building's press hall and alterations. An addition of approximately 20,000 square feet was proposed to house printing operations on property once occupied by parking. The new space would permit the addition of a new printing press, adding 4 units of press to the existing10 unit press line. Due to the erasure of parking, this project is also heavily concerned with the search for new parking for the building. Parkin Architects Planners had designed and constructed the original Toronto Sun building at 333 King Street East from 1973-1975. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records, photographs and slides dating from 1974-1981. The majority of drawings are of details and are arranged within the textual records. The photographic materials show the building's exterior and masonry. The textual records include correspondence, specifications, meeting and site reports, tender documents, consultancy records, bylaw and building authority records, financial documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, interoffice letters, and contracts. File AP018.S1.1976.PR25.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for proposed improvements to the garden of the Rotman Residence on Forest Hill Road in Toronto, Ontario. Orberlander worked on this project in 1994. The Georgian style residence was originally design by architect John Lyle in 1924. As the residence was sited perpendicularly to the street, Oberlander's landscape concept was to create a series of garden from the street to the back of the property, which included terraces for entertaining at the front of the property, a rose garden and lawn for strolling. She also created a birch trees walk with ascending grass stairs. Oberlander was later commissioned in 1996-1997 to combine the existing garden with an extensionof the property after the acquisition of a lot next door by the owners of the residence. She extended the birch walk and created a oval-shaped lawn accessed through a wrought iron gate. The project series also contains material related to later restorations to the garden, including an alteration to the garden in 2013 to improve the view from the living room. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans, planting plans, and grading plans, and also a landscape presentation drawing.The project is also documents through photographs of the landscaping, research material, correspondence with clients and contractors, concept notes by Oberlander, specifications, and meetings notes.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Holt Renfrew flagship store on Bloor Street in Toronto in 1997. The office identified the project number as 69705. This project consisted of a proposal for the exterior facades and rooftop terrace for the high-end department store. The proposal focused greatly on movement that would naturally attract passing pedestrians and drivers to the store's entrances and window merchandizing. The main entrance would be comprised of glass doors with custom bronze pulls, sheltered by a steel and glass canopy and sandwiched between limestone surfaces. Above the main doors would be a two-storey window display and surfaces that could be manipulated to display brand logos and other graphics. This also allowed natural light to shine into the main atrium of the store's interior. Windows at street level, used for visual marketing, would be punched into limestone facades and accentuated with canvas awnings, creating an intimate customer experience. The new rooftop terrace would be created through an addition to the fourth floor, setback from the other levels, and sheltered by a projecting roof. The terrace would be lined in a continuous rim of evergreen hedges. Addition entrances, new lighting fixtures, and interior window displays were also proposed in this project. The project is recorded through drawings, watercolour paintings and textual records dating from 1997. The drawings consist of sketch elevations and perspectives, while the paintings were used for presentation purposes. The textual records consist of the project proposal with associated digital renderings.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Holt Renfrew flagship store on Bloor Street in Toronto in 1997. The office identified the project number as 69705. This project consisted of a proposal for the exterior facades and rooftop terrace for the high-end department store. The proposal focused greatly on movement that would naturally attract passing pedestrians and drivers to the store's entrances and window merchandizing. The main entrance would be comprised of glass doors with custom bronze pulls, sheltered by a steel and glass canopy and sandwiched between limestone surfaces. Above the main doors would be a two-storey window display and surfaces that could be manipulated to display brand logos and other graphics. This also allowed natural light to shine into the main atrium of the store's interior. Windows at street level, used for visual marketing, would be punched into limestone facades and accentuated with canvas awnings, creating an intimate customer experience. The new rooftop terrace would be created through an addition to the fourth floor, setback from the other levels, and sheltered by a projecting roof. The terrace would be lined in a continuous rim of evergreen hedges. Addition entrances, new lighting fixtures, and interior window displays were also proposed in this project. The project is recorded through drawings, watercolour paintings and textual records dating from 1997. The drawings consist of sketch elevations and perspectives, while the paintings were used for presentation purposes. The textual records consist of the project proposal with associated digital renderings.
