Lincoln Court

Contains 78 row houses arranged around three interior garden courts. Most of the houses form perimeter rows along the surrounding streets, while breaks between the rows create paths leading through the block and into the shared gardens.

Varying row lengths, setbacks, rooflines, and occasional façades turned toward the paths keep the street walls from feeling repetitive. Each home was planned with private front and rear yards in addition to access to the larger interior landscape. Lincoln Court is one of the clearest examples of Sunnyside Gardens’ perimeter-block planning model.
