Crestview tower at Seymour village

Crestview tower is a luxury high-rise located in the heart of the city. The tower is designed in a way that it offers panoramic views from every suite, and its location on the highest point in the city provides stunning views of the cityscape and the surrounding mountains. The tower's design was inspired by traditional BC architecture. The tower's amenities include a fitness center, a private spa, Community Garden, Bike wash station and a Dog Run.

Parking Level 1 Floor Plan

The owner's requirement was to build a unique 12 storey building, which was first of a kind in the city. The major challenge while designing was to attend the meeting with the committee of adjustment in order to convince them and the neighbourhood for granting the construction of high rise within the neighbourhood.

Construction Phase

There were several challenges we came across during the construction of the building. Since the floors were concrete slabs, tolerances for finishing to be achieved by the working trade was a critical milestone. Once the task was complete, we found several deficiencies in finishing that created an issue during the installation of flooring. With the help of research on the flooring product, we were able to layer it with a underlayment to even out the  surface. Combined savings of $200,000 was achieved within the required timeline.

Sectional Detail

One tricky detail to achieve on the project was to accommodate a standard window frame size over the wall assembly of the project. The thickness of the wall involved concrete, rain-screen, insulation and aluminum cladding. With the help of right setback detail at the openings and appropriate waterproofing, we were able to use the window trim as requested.

Typical Unit

The Project was completed within schedule and over budget.
