The Conservatory Condo Complex
Christenson Developments
Edmonton, AB
This was a redevelopment site adjacent to Mill Creek, which is particularly
sensitive to increased runoff and erosion. A detention pond next to the creek
posed a danger of slope failure, so a concrete storage tank was incorporated
under the basement. The tank system was also designed to serve as irrigation
water supply. The maximum elevation of the building was dictated by community
requirements, so special measures were undertaken to avoid flooding of the
building during a major storm.
