Baxter Projects is an award-winning architecture studio dedicated to building healthy sustainable low-carbon spaces and structures. Founded in 2014 by Kevin Baxter, we are based in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley.
Whether it’s a new home, a renovation/new addition, or a complex multi-use structure, our experience and skills in the pursuit of intelligent, artful design allow us to execute meaningful projects of any scale that are as aspirational as they are practical and distinctly rooted in place.
With each new client/project, we bring a body of knowledge that includes engineering, art, and industrial design, to learn and grow as we further a new path in modern living and sustainability.

The Public Theater
The Public Theater, housed in the historic Astor Library since 1969, was in need of extensive repairs, mechanical upgrades, and most importantly, a more open and inviting entrance to the main lobby. Executed while Kevin Baxter was a project architect at Ennead Architects.
The new exterior stair and canopy increase accessibility to the theater while also acting as a stage to connect the theater to the city.
