Planning
Creating a clear vision and a solid foundation for development.


“RVI’s planning philosophy epitomizes the understanding of a community. It’s not just about building houses, not just about building lots. It’s about community and the people who are going to live there. Quality doesn’t mean expensive. It means well done.”
– Ted Nelson, Newland Communities
At RVi, we approach each project with an understanding of and commitment to our role as a trusted advisor.

Landscape Architecture
As landscape architects, we strive to design highly creative outdoor spaces that respond to specific needs and desires of the communities they serve. From courtyards to streetscapes to cemeteries, RVi’s portfolio is reflective of the wide and wonderfully diverse practice of landscape architecture.
Parks & Open Space Design
The challenge of creating successful recreational amenities lies in the ability to attract and inspire a very diverse group of people. The RVi team loves digging into the stories of each particular place and finding new ways to bring those stories to life.
