Scope and Content

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.
