Araiys Design Landscape Architecture

What Araiys Design Landscape Architecture does

Araiys Design, L.A., P.C. (ADLA) is a licensed landscape architecture professional corporation headquartered in Southampton, New York, operating in the East End of Long Island since its founding in August 1994. The firm provides project-based landscape architecture services spanning site design and engineering, environmental analysis, waterfront design, wetland reclamation, recreation facility design, and municipal park master planning, with a documented emphasis on Low Impact Design (LID) strategies and green infrastructure. Its portfolio of more than 60 completed projects includes luxury residential estates, boutique hospitality and spa properties (Canoe Place Inn, Topping Rose House, Shou Sugi Ban House), healthcare community spaces (Garden of Hope at Stonybrook Southampton Hospital), and municipal/community projects (Riverside Maritime Trail Park, Bridge Gardens with Peconic Land Trust).

The firm operates with a small team of approximately seven to ten professionals led by Principal Steven G. Nieroda, with founder Timothy A. Rumph serving as Emeritus Principal and consultant following his 2023 retirement. GTM is consultative and referral-driven, with project acquisition flowing through long-standing relationships with architect partners (Citizen Artist, Jason Thomas Architects, Roger Ferris + Partners, Champalimaud Design, Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects, Arrowstreet, Workstead Studio), direct outreach to property owners, and earned media presence in international design publications. Revenue is generated through custom, project-by-project professional services contracts with multi-year cadences on larger hospitality engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by scope, site complexity, and client requirements. Customer segments split between high-end residential property owners (primary), hospitality and resort properties (primary), municipal/community organizations (secondary), and select commercial and institutional clients.
