2019 Design Award 1 | Landscape Design Workshop, Boca Raton

Weston, FL - Landscape Design Workshop has won 2019 World Architecture & Design Awards First Place Award for their project Botaniko.

One of the strategies of smart growth and sustainable communities is to promote infill development, Botaniko adopts and embraces this concept.

Botaniko is located near the edge of the Everglades National Park, in the City of Weston, Florida.

It is a 123-acre master planned residential development with 125 modern home sites.

Botaniko was envisioned as a suburban ecotone where the Everglades biome and a residential community merge and blend. Influenced by proximity to the Everglades, Landscape Design Workshop recognized the importance of water and used it as a key design feature.

In this project Landscape Design Workshop distilled the essence of the surrounding environment and used it as a guide. What emerged from this investigation was a resilient community featuring strong relationship between modern architecture, open space and water.
