Good design is built on clear intention.
Equinox crafts custom designs for both large and small-scale projects—from urban master plans to greenways and residential development—to fulfill both functional and aesthetic needs. Using low-impact and environmentally sensitive principles, we work with nature’s inherent patterns to design beautiful environments and communities that are ideal for living, working, and playing.

Stormwater Inspections
You have a permitted stormwater control measure or BMP – but did you know that you may be required to have it inspected regularly under the jurisdiction of your municipality or state? We help institutions, neighborhoods, and businesses with this important but sometimes daunting process.
- Stormwater Inspections and Maintenance Reports – Equinox will perform an inspection of the stormwater control measure. Upon observation of satisfactory function of the stormwater systems, Equinox will generate and submit a report to the appropriate entity.
- Maintenance Recommendations (if applicable) – If the site inspection finds maintenance is necessary, Equinox will provide a notice of recommended maintenance actions and provide a follow-up inspection to ensure your stormwater control measure is functioning as intended.
