Stein further reduced the paved driving lane to 6 meters and allowed for the 2 metre ulility strip on each side to be landscaped and thus visually part of the garden.

 H-Net Review: Tridib Banerjee on The Writings of Clarence Stein: Architect of the Planned Community
Stein himself began his career as an architect, and continued his practice of architecture for a good part of his life, but concentrated in later years on the design of large housing complexes.
Indeed, as Parsons points out, Clarence Stein may have been the only architect of his stature who dedicated his career to the cause of a genuine social architecture, one that was based on social concerns rather than aesthetics of form.
Stein began his career primarily as a community architect, but later became more of a community and regional planner, and an advocate for social reform.

Two major modifications of Howard’s ideas, Perry’s “Neighbourhood Unit” design and Stein and Wright’s plans for “New Towns,” involve the modification of Howard’s ideas regarding the design of residential areas so as to accommodate the growing influence of the automobile.
These were the “neighbourhood unit” concept developed by Clarence Perry in 1929 and the “Radburn Idea” conceived by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright in 1926.
While the Garden City concept was developed during the railway era, Perry, Stein and Wright were forced to accommodate a different mode of transportation: the automobile.

The present building, which was completed in 1929, was designed by Robert D. Kohn, Clarence Stein and Charles Butler in an Art Deco-interpretation of Moorish and Romanesque styles.
Indeed Kenneth Murchison reported that the new temple left its beholders 'speechless at the beauty and majestoy of its sturcture.' 'We felt ourselves free in choice of detail with which to ornament the structural form,' Clarence Stein confided in 1930.
Not surprisingly, Stein, formerly a close associate of Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and his collaborators, decided to develop the design 'from the Romanesque as used in the south of Italy under the influence of the Moorish, because it was an expression of the intermingling of Occidental and Oriental thought.

Stein, an architect, and Wright, a landscape designer, created a plan for 1200 moderately priced units on 28% of the site, leaving the remaining land for community open space.
Stein and Wright’s design also called for the development of eight apartment houses, including four 30-unit cooperatives, three 70-unit rentals, and Phipps Houses, an Art Deco building demonstrating the latest in garden apartment aesthetics.
Members of the RPAA hailed Stein and Wright’s plan for Sunnyside Gardens as a “democratic” design which would encourage its middle class residents to adopt the cooperative values and behavioral patterns of more wholesome, pastoral communities.

Clarence Stein, planner, architect and social critic of the 1920s, with his close colleague, landscape architect Henry Wright, began his career by designing and developing middle and low income housing projects for America’s white and blue collar families.
The first areas of the development to be completed were Sunnyside Gardens, a mews complex of two to four story row houses that offered home ownership, tenant controlled common open space, and facilities planned for the wide social range of its tenant age groups.
Stein and Wright, while working with the developer on the development package, retained two young professionals - Frederick Ackerman, architect, and Marjorie Sewell-Cautley, landscape architect - to carry out the detail design and construction of the housing and the site’s development.
