This project transforms a refuse depot site into 272 new affordable homes and significant public realm, which is designed to meet Passivhaus certification.

Wingspan Walk is a housing regeneration project providing 272 new affordable homes, in a mixture of apartments and maisonettes for Haringey Council.
The project transforms a previously disused brownfield waste depot into a vibrant, green residential neighbourhood with new pedestrian links to Down Lane Park.

Designed to achieve Passivhaus certification, the homes feature exceptional energy efficiency, ensuring low running costs for residents and a comfortable environment.

Rob Westcott, director at Civic, said: “Wingspan Walk is a great example of the positive impact that can be created through a system thinking approach to regeneration. Working in close collaboration with Levitt Bernstein, the London Borough of Haringey and wider design team, we’ve transformed a historically industrial site into a thriving, resilient and sustainable neighbourhood. Alongside the 272 Passivhaus homes which are designed to reduce energy use and running costs, we’ve reimagined the landscape with new pedestrian routes and infrastructure that supports active travel, as well as recreating nature with a series of nature-based SuDS features to help manage rainfall and encourage biodiversity. The design of the SuDS features ensured that no buried concrete or plastic tanks were required, helping to reduce embodied carbon and cost, and benefitting both planet and place.”
