Botanica Residences creates a landmark tower apartment complex at the intersection of Brisbane’s eclectic West End and industrial South Brisbane.
Influenced by an initial desire to incorporate vertical landscape as a key component of the design, the building incorporates “greenery” as the focus of transition from the public to private realms and within communal recreation spaces. The major moves in this regard are the incorporation of extensive green walls and planting at the podium along with generous rooftop gardens and lifestyle spaces.
The ground floor streetscape interface prioritises activation through the provision of high-quality retail and lobby spaces through a transition from the street that incorporates a “protected verandah”. This approach to openness allows for an informality to the ground plane and seamless engagement between interior and exterior spaces.

The building form is created through the provision of two intertwining towers (one black and one white) which meet in a diagonal symmetry allowing the building to be read “in the round”. The “white tower” is characterised by a series of profiled precast “leaves” that fall randomly across the façade offering movement and variation. The “black towers” offset and punctuate this movement through simple materiality and texture.
