Melrose Concourse. Bronx

Claremont Parkway

Washington Avenue

Gouverneur Place

Melrose Concourse transforms three infill lots into three new affordable housing buildings with units dedicated to seniors, other individuals, and families, including households leaving shelters. The four to ten-story buildings are within a mile of each other on Claremont Parkway, Washington Avenue, and Gouverneur Place. A critical thread of the project is to ensure every building’s design responds to each site’s immediate context, while façade details like natural brick and wood accents establish a cohesive identity for the development. Despite the compact, irregular shape of the lots, each building plan leverages clear sightlines, interconnected communal spaces, and varied sources of daylight to create a sense of openness and foster interaction between residents.
