Client, contractors and developer – we’re all very much aligned. “Open and frank conversations mean we can find solutions and move forward quickly because there is a new challenge every day. Ultimately we are all trying to create the best living environment for the residents and feedback from those that have moved in already has been very positive.” Designed by Pacific Environments, The Botanic is nestled into a gentle northwest-facing hillside. The village spans a stream and takes advantage of its natural amenity by creating a boardwalk for both public and resident use. Communal spaces form the heart of the village and Alan says that residents set the social scene with a diverse activity calendar which may including dance lessons, reading in the library, board games, viewing a film in the cinema or getting creative in the art space, once the main community centre has been constructed. Also planned on site are a café, restaurant, bar, pool table, table tennis, golf simulator, indoor bowls, outdoor bowling green, croquet and putting areas. The Botanic also includes a childcare centre to bridge the gap between young and old. Alan says The Botanic represents a new way of living in retirement. “With excellent, considered amenities, a great location near public transport and a full calendar, there’s always something to keep the mind alert and the body moving so that at The Botanic people truly have the freedom to live life as they choose. It’s about giving people an authentic offering where they can live with purpose and joy and be the best they can be.” 34WallsRd, Penrose,Auckland www.gulf.net.nz 09 520 5914 admin@gulf.net.nz Specialists in Passive Fire, Sealant, Emseal – Seismic & Fire Rated, Grouting & Crack Injection, Membrane Roofing and Confined Spaces.
