The collection consists of art and design work created by Allan Skriloff during the course of his studies at Parsons School of Design's Interior Design Department from approximately 1963 until his graduation in 1966. The majority of the work is undated. Materials have been arranged in alphabetical order by format, and include a collage, presentation boards for design problems, life drawing sketches, a notebook, and renderings.

Design problems consist of a child's room, a city apartment, and a restaurant complex. According to Skriloff, the instructor gave the same blueprint to all students. A visit to the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado influenced Skriloff's design for the restaurant complex.

Skriloff executed the two life drawings during an Art Students League class. While studying at the Pratt Institute, he had been advised to improve his drawing skills.

The notebook primarily consists of tracings of furniture, architectural elements, elevations, and floor plans interspersed with handwritten notes. Originally bound into one notebook, it was separated into three sections during processing, although the original page order has been retained.

Renderings, primarily executed in watercolor, depict furnishings, elevations, and perspectives of historic rooms. Many feature comments by an undidentified instructor. Skriloff created the sketch executed in felt tip pen after graduating from Parsons School of Design; it depicts his first apartment at 125 West 96th Street, which he advises rented for $98.40 monthly in 1966.
