Brady Richards

Landscape Architect

Brady is a versatile landscape architect and writer who contributes production on projects across all phases of design. He was instrumental to Starr Whitehouse winning two of the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management’s Green Infrastructure Design Challenge projects, subsequently spearheading design development and construction documents for both. In the Hudson River Valley, Brady led design and construction documentation for a new adventure playground integrated into the hilly topography of Bear Mountain State Park, part of a larger Starr Whitehouse-led restoration of this historic open space that recently entered construction. He is currently contributing design development and construction documents for three riverfront parks in the City of Roswell, GA — expanding waterfront access, riverine habitat, and shoreline resilience on the Chattahoochee River. Prior to Starr Whitehouse, Brady worked on public and private sector projects in Colorado, Oregon, and Arizona. All that time out West sharpened his appreciation for the complexity of ecologies, both pristine and disturbed, and the resiliency of the individuals and communities that inhabit them. Outside the office, you’ll find Brady writing, reading, or hiking in the mountains.
