Claremont Gardens

In the 1970s, Edelman and Salzman completed the milestone project, Claremont Gardens, in Ossining, New York. This innovative housing model exemplified economical design. The housing was not only efficiently sited, organized, and constructed, but also designed for the comfort of the residents. This project has been widely exhibited, studied, and used as a prototype for affordable multifamily housing.

Modular wood-framed units manufactured by the Starrett Modular Company were assembled into low-rise clusters of duplex and simplex apartments, responding to the site, and providing optimal views and accessibility.

Since then, Claremont Gardens has changed a bit.
