RIBA Surrey are happy to announce that they have arranged a building visit to Jungle Residence by Independent Architects.
Please note, numbers are limited.
About the Project
Jungle Residence is a RIBA South East Awards Nominee, and is located on Wheatleys Eyot, an island in the River Thames, situated to the south of Sunbury-on-Thames.
Originally constructed in 2010, the existing house has been fully reconfigured and extended to meet the retired architect owner's requirements.
Getting there
Note that parking is severely limited, so we encourage car sharing where possible. Public transport is an option, as the building is a 15 minute walk from the nearest 216 bus stop.
