Jura is a fine example of contemporary architecture that breaks the mould in an almost entirely traditional architectural context. The Wentworth Estate, home to the world famous Wentworth Golf Club, was originally conceived in the 1920?s by renowned builder and developer W.G Tarrant and comprises architecture ranging in style from Arts and Crafts to neo-Georgian. Most newly constructed properties on the Estate, be they privately commissioned or developments, are designed in a traditional pastiche. This is largely due to fear of the unknown and risk of jeopardising future values. Jura looks to set a precedent on the Estate of how good quality, contemporary architecture can maximise the opportunities of a site in both design approach and planning terms.
