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 home sites. 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.
