A spiraling roof, a 60-foot waterfall, “dinosaur trees”—how architects breathed new life into Winnipeg's greenest attraction

The Leaf, a botanical garden by KPMB Architects, completed last year. A defining element of the design is its spiraling rooftop.

The Leaf, marked by a dramatically spiraling roof, replaced a century-old conservatory in Winnipegs Assiniboine Park.

While temperatures in Winnipeg are firmly into the minus category, one new Assiniboine Park attraction is providing a tropical paradise to visit year-round.
