We are delighted to announce that West 8 has won an Editors Pick in the Architects Newspaper’s Best of Design Awards in the Landscape category for Houston Botanic Garden. The jury selected the project from over 800 submissions.

Houston Botanic Garden opened in September of this year. The first phase of the 132-acre Master Plan has transformed an island in the Sims Bayou into an oasis of learning, discovery and horticultural beauty.
