American Friends are invited to join us for a visit to Sun Rain Room, a RIBA Award-winning project, which is a two-storey extension and restoration of a Grade-II Listed Georgian townhouse on Wednesday 17 January 2018. Designed and constructed by Tonkin Liu in collaboration with local craftspeople, it serves as both a studio for the practice and a home for the partners’ family. An innovative plywood roof forms a canopy over internal and external living and meeting spaces, which cradle a rainwater-filled reflecting pool. It is a place to enjoy changing weather, seasons and times of day. We will visit the Sun Rain Rooms in the evening for the best experience.

For more information or to RSVP please contact Arina Zharikova on +44 (0) 20 7307 3701 or Patrons@riba.org.
