KITE Architects

We’re proud to see KITE’s work with Crossroads Rhode Island highlighted in this great article about the Pine Street Apartments project. 🏡

Designed to provide permanent supportive housing for individuals with significant health needs, this innovative development will be Rhode Island’s first fully accessible supportive housing community, helping create a safer, healthier, and more inclusive future for its residents.

Thank you to Crossroads RI and all the partners helping bring this important project to life. We’re honored to be part of it. 💙

Dozens of new apartments going up in Providence for people with medical issues Crossroads is building 35 new apartments for people with medical issues who can live independently.

Working with Crossroads over the years has been a privilege, and we are especially proud of this latest set of outdoor spaces and pocket parks because of the positive impact on the neighborhood we work in every day.

We designed the courtyard and improvements at the entrance specifically to provide comfort and dignity - with benches, water, a power station, and importantly, screening from the roadways, and concrete planters that both offer greenery and protection from traffic.

The custom fencing is meant to evoke the various paths people take through life - and the literal crossroads people come to in their journey through this place.

These improvements are important because they signal to passerby that the people who are using these spaces belong here - they are not loitering. That ‘sanctioning’ of space is critical to turning around the perception of Broad Street - Reimagining it, as it were - and showing Crossroads’ clients the respect they deserve.

RI housing leaders say new federal rules could mean an increase in homelessness Housing advocates in Rhode Island are raising red flags over new federal funding rules just announced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

It’s that time of year again! The mad dash to obtain missing CEUs is upon us.

We feel your pain and have the answer: Replays of KITE’s Behind the Scenes at Summer Street Webinar Series for self-reporting. 9 credits total!

Opening the curtains to the process, KITE brought together architects, engineers, contractors, and developers for a collaborative learning experience. We believe that by sharing insights and lessons learned, industry insiders like you can better respond to the needs of Rhode Island’s housing crisis and prioritize design decisions that directly benefit the community at the individual level.
