The Wentworth Manor is one of the first Assisted-Living projects in Alberta. The project was envisioned in collaboration with the Brenda Strafford Foundation which had purchased a site between Sarcee Trail and Costello Blvd. at 17th Avenue in Southwest Calgary. The site had considerable grade rising from Sarcee westward providing design challenges which were made even more interesting as a result of a planning mandate requiring the architect to ensure that views to the Calgary Tower were maintained for residents who lived on the escarpment west of Costello Boulevard. Careful survey drawings were prepared demonstrating that the geodetic design elevation of the ridge of the building honored these views, and the building was then constructed to precisely these dimensions.
