Scope and content:
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.
