Rowan Court Masterplan, Haringey
46 New Council Homes
“Haringey Council is delighted with the outcome of our Rowan Court scheme. Rowan Court is part of Haringey’s building programme that’s now delivered over 1,000 new council homes across the borough. Satish’s design makes full use of a tightly constrained and unusually shaped site. Rowan Court has transformed broken down garages and fly-tipped waste land into 46 much-needed, energy efficient new council homes that complement the existing council housing block. In doing so, Haringey’s Rowan Court scheme has created an attractive public square with an improved pedestrian link to Seven Sisters Road.”

Rowan Court is a masterplanned development delivering 46 new council homes on a constrained estate-edge site in Seven Sisters, Haringey. Commissioned by Haringey Council, the project transforms underused land into a high-quality, sustainable neighbourhood while significantly enhancing the surrounding estate.
The scheme provides 100% social rent homes, including 31 apartments, 11 family townhouses and four intergenerational maisonettes, alongside wheelchair-accessible dwellings. All homes are designed to be dual or triple aspect, ensuring high levels of daylight, natural ventilation and long-term liveability.
Beyond the homes themselves, the project focuses on estate regeneration and placemaking. A new public square, upgraded landscaping, improved lighting, planting and new cycle and refuse stores create a safer, more welcoming environment for existing and new residents. A newly introduced mews street establishes a secure and overlooked pedestrian route, improving connectivity to local transport via an existing underpass.
The development is entirely car-free and designed to be low-carbon in operation, with over 81% of energy demand met through on-site renewable sources. Robust, durable materials have been carefully selected to ensure longevity and minimise maintenance for the council.
Rowan Court demonstrates how small, complex urban sites can be unlocked to deliver high-quality council housing while leaving the wider neighbourhood in a better condition than before.
