Over the past three decades, Roney J. Mateu has received more than 65 Awards for Excellence in Design from the AIA and been recognized as one of Florida’s leading design architects. Mateu’s minimalist formal vocabulary, beautifully realized in the homes he conceived for Botaniko Weston, invites the environment to merge with living areas in the exclusive enclave. His designs within this West Broward County neighborhood allow the tropical climate and landscape–and the lifestyle they engender–to merge, creating homes that provide a framework for the rituals of daily life.
