Scheme includes eight homes and is intended as a model for small-scale, low-carbon social housing delivery in London

Satish Jassal Architects has completed a new-build council housing scheme of eight homes on a previously disused site in Bounds Green, north London.

Commissioned by Haringey Council, the project is intended to demonstrate how high-quality, low-carbon housing can be delivered on small urban infill plots.

The scheme comprises five single-storey flats (including a wheelchair-accessible unit), one duplex and two townhouses. Six of the homes are family-sized with three or more bedrooms. All homes are dual or triple aspect and look onto the park or a shared landscaped courtyard, which includes a vegetable patch that is intended to support social interaction and passive surveillance.
