16788 Natures Way
A modern house carved out of the Everglades.
A 2024 Oppenheim home on a private corner by the lake, built around light, water and family life outdoors. Barely lived in, with more than $300K of upgrades already done.
A community designed by modernists, not by a builder’s catalog
Botaniko was planned as a private enclave of 125 modern homes on 121 landscaped acres in Weston. Terra Group brought together architects Chad Oppenheim and Roney Mateu, landscape artist JEFRË and Venus Williams’ V Starr Interiors to design it as one piece.
JEFRË skipped the usual palms and bougainvillea and took his cues from the Everglades, so the streets, paths and lakes feel carved out of the landscape that was here first.
16788 Natures Way sits right on that idea: a corner lot on the water, with no neighbor on one side.
From the Saudi desert to a Weston backyard
Chad Oppenheim founded Oppenheim Architecture in Miami in 1999. The firm has since built in more than 25 countries, from Desert Rock, a resort set into the mountains of Saudi Arabia, to the Ayla Golf Clubhouse in Aqaba, Jordan.
Its work is known for one idea: architecture that sits quietly in its landscape instead of competing with it. At Natures Way that means walls of glass that open to the garden, a covered terrace that turns the yard into a room, and a pool that lines up with the lake.
Few people can own an Oppenheim house. In Botaniko, a family can.
Glass, light, water and green: the house is designed to be lived in from the inside out.
