Botanicus
A haven for rest and rejuvenation
Botanicus is a place of refuge and rejuvenation, a symbol of creativity, innovation, and excellence.
The home’s simple exterior form is reminiscent of a rural barn, while the Blackbutt timber at the entry provides a warm welcome.
The burnished concrete slab, custom built concrete plinth, cathedral ceiling and custom joinery create a modern aesthetic.
Passive design principles, double glazing and insulation add to the client’s comfort and energy efficiency.
