Resting in the heart of Sydney’s lush Royal Botanic Garden, Botanic House pays homage to its natural surroundings with it’s biophilic centric interior design. Abundant wooden finishes evoke warmth and tranquillity, creating a harmonious blend with the verdant backdrop.
One challenge was illuminating this naturally bright space, primarily used during daylight hours. The result is a space that is light and airy while exuding a welcoming glow. This was achieved through carefully selected down lights, custom fixtures, and decorative lighting, all of which accentuate the natural beauty of the materials, creating an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation.
