Welcome to Botanic

Botanic Landscape Architects

Botanic are a boutique landscape architecture studio based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. We combine over three decades of experience, so you’re with a safe set of hands and a friendly team who value the shared outcomes created through collaboration.

Public Spaces and Commercial Landscapes

The design of public spaces and commercial landscapes has the ability to positively shape human experiences, integrate with architecture and express a sense of place. We believe that great design creates vibrant spaces that are people-friendly, environmentally sustainable and functional to use and maintain.

Residential Landscape and Garden Design

Our homes are personal sanctuaries where families grow together. We believe listening and collaborating closely with our clients allows the design to reflect their personalities and find a balance between function, comfort and inspiration.

Immersive Planting

Layered, biodiverse plantings provide ecological value, sources of kai and ever changing natural beauty to enjoy. Our planting compositions integrate form, texture and seasonal change to create immersive experiences for people and habitat for wildlife.

Education, School and Campus Landscapes

Campus landscapes are an integral component of a student’s experience. We collaborate with schools to integrate their style of teaching with external spaces where cognitive, social and physical learning can thrive.

Play Spaces and Playgrounds

Play is essential to child leaning and development. A well-designed play space can create open-ended fun and physical challenges. We regularly develop play space designs through interactive workshops with tamariki, kaimahi and community to express conceptual and cultural narratives.

Cultural, Community and Recreation Landscapes

Great outdoor spaces integrate with nature and reflect the identity of the people connected to them.  We enjoy designing collaboratively with mana whenua and communities to create landscapes that express cultural and historical narratives, provide wellbeing and enhance their local environment.
