- Notice biographique
- Upon graduation with a B.Arch., Honours from the University of Toronto in 1935, Phyllis Cook Carlisle (nee Phyllis Willson Cook) is noted as the first woman to win the annual student competition supported by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). Her Gold Medal award winning design for “An Embassy in the Capital City of a Country in the Temperate Zone” was published in the Journal of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in March 1934. She also held the distinction of having the first article written by a female architectural graduate to appear in the Journal of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in December 1935. On the topic of kitchens, the article was transcribed from her radio broadcast sponsored by the Toronto Chapter of the Ontario Association of Architects. Her additional student awards included the Toronto Brick Company Award, the Architectural Guild Bronze Medal, and the Darling and Pearson prize. Following her graduation and two years of employment in the Interior Decorating Department of Eaton’s Department Store in Toronto, Carlisle, set out to work independently. She gave a series of CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) radio broadcasts on the renovation and decoration of the various rooms in houses (c.1945). Carlisle's private residential designs included the T.G. Fogden residence, Port Credit, Ontario; Toronto projects included the Collins residence, Robb residence, and Carlisle residence, as well as three summer cabins on Lake Mississauga, Ontario. She also designed kitchens for Formica. Phyllis Cook Carlisle died at the age of forty-two. (I. Puchalski)
