roden court haringey n6
Roden Court was a series of 1960s buildings containing former YWCA studio flats set within a wooded garden which slopes down towards Metropolitan Open Space. The new buildings are designed both to exploit and preserve this mature landscape whilst fulfilling our brief to combine new homes for existing tenants with apartments for sale and an extra-care home.
Our design consists of two long buildings which will create a central open space for the use of all residents. These buildings will rise towards Hornsey Lane to create two slim towers. One of the blocks will then extend further back, and step down in scale to a single storey to address the garden and open green space beyond. The higher flats will look down over the green sedum-covered lower roofs of Roden Court and out over the wooded gardens. Phase 1 is now complete and all the existing residents have moved into their new homes. Phase 2 will be complete by early 2012.
