Urban Rain Design, Inc. Information

Urban Rain Design, a design studio founded in 2012 by nationally award-winning landscape architect Kevin Robert Perry, provides green infrastructure visioning, planning, and technical design assistance for communities throughout the United States and beyond. The firm collaborates with diverse design teams to develop elegant yet functional techniques to retrofit the urban fabric with sustainable stormwater management. The firm’s design philosophy is to boldly use the landscape to not only manage stormwater, but to also create highly successful urban spaces. Urban Rain Design has the unparalleled visionary and technical expertise to walk through a project site and develop a full toolbox of green infrastructure design strategies. Ultimately, the firm aims to help build high-caliber green infrastructure projects with a strong degree of detail and functionality that exemplify how cities can transform gray space into green space. Urban Rain Design promotes traditional forms of urban development that focus on compact, pedestrian-scale, and placemaking communities that also integrate practical and functional landscape systems, often referred to as green infrastructure, to help heal the environmental impacts of urbanization. During the last century, the rapid build out of our communities, whether ultra-urban or suburban in form, have systematically displaced the natural landscape and the critical systems reliant on this landscape. The environmental, economic, and social/human health costs of this built pattern are only now being fully realized. Urban Rain Design is committed to helping reverse the negative environmental effects of urbanization and is excited to work with like-minded professionals to help communities create better places to work, play, and live.
