Description:
Project series documents Cornelie Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Jarvis Residence on Hudson Street in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on the initial landscape project from 1964-1966, and later on renovations of the garden in 1988-1989. The residence was designed by architect Ron Thom, from Thompson Berwick & Pratt Architects and was completed in 1964.

The garden also integrated elements from Japanese traditional gardens, brought back by the owners of the house after a trip in Japan, including stepping-stones that were arranged to create a path from the house and the beginning of a woodland walk. Project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans, planting plans and layout plans, and also working drawing, including irragation plans.

Description:
This project series documents the expansion of the conservation labs at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto from 1984-1985. The office identified the project number as 8404. This project consisted of the addition of 2200 square feet of space to the conservation labs at the gallery. This space included a new inpainting studio for painting conservation, a paper conservation lab, and a matting and framing room for prints and drawings. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, construction photographs, building material samples and textual records dating from 1984-1985. The textual records consist of specifications, contractor correspondence and reports, invoices, and change orders.

Description:
This project series documents a parking structure for the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1974-1975. The office identified the project number as 7425. This project consisted of a five-level, above ground parking garage with a capacity of approximately 5000 vehicles. The parking structure was designed for Terminal Two at the airport (now known as Toronto Pearson International Airport) and would connect departing and arriving passengers from the airport to the structure via tunnels. Parkin Architect Planners were hired as the consulting architects for this project by Fenco-Barton Engineers. Fenco Barton was awarded with the Prestressed Concrete Institute Award in 1979 to for excellence in architectural and engineering design using precast and prestressed concrete. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1974-1975. The drawings are mostly original sketches of the design. Photographs and negatives show research on other parking structures. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters and project notes. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR19.009 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office
