London Startup Seeks £395,000 On Crowdcube to Create the World’s “First” All-Glass Green Home

Photon Space 1

London-based Photon Project Ltd. recently launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Crowdcube to raise £395,000 for 20% equity in the company.  Investors may take advantage of the EIS tax relief as well.

Photon has developed a “revolutionary architectural structure”, that claims to be the first of its kind to address every day issues such as stress, low energy, jet-lag and broader health problems by allowing natural daylight into the space to balance essential body rhythms and using nano-technology to darken the glass when required for privacy and sleeping.

Photon Space 4This exciting project combines years of research, glass innovation, engineering and architecture to provide a new way to restore, relax and rejuvenate.Engineered with the latest advances in nano-technology, The Photon SpaceTM is a luxury daylight suite constructed entirely from intelligent glass to allow the maximum amount of natural light into a comfortable living environment.

The Photon SpaceTM is also a modular construction so it can be erected and finished quickly in around 4 weeks. It has an integrated steel sub-frame so it can be built in virtually all locations – it “touches the earth lightly” and can therefore be removed with minor local impact on the surroundings. The suites are especially relevant for hospitality destinations like spas, health retreats, hotels and resorts, high-rise roof–tops, medical centers and safari lodges.

Photon Space 6The extraordinary structure’s design is supported by long-term studies from Oxford University led by Professor Russell Foster into the non-visual photoreceptor (our built-in mechanism that adjusts to external cues) and circadian rhythms dedicated to setting our natural 24 hour body clock. He has confirmed that natural light provides the critical input for synchronising our body clocks in accordance with environmental time.

Within a 45m2 footprint, this all-glass structure provides 360 degree views, which contribute to the acute sense of space and greater connectivity with the natural surrounding environment. The suite is designed as a compact living solution, incorporating a furnished sitting room and double bedroom with a modular integrated kitchen and bathroom.

The multi-layered, high-performance glass walls are bonded to curved glass beams and allow for total transparency and temperate climate control to create a safe, relaxing and harmonious environment. The Photon SpaceTM can be set to reduce stress levels and regulate sleep patterns by accessing more of the blue light spectrum and allowing daylight to flood into the suite. This is done with the latest in nano- technology, as the space can be darkened for privacy to provide a perfect night-time setting to regulate sleep when you need it most – even during the day.

Charlie SharmanManaging director of The Photon Project, Charlie Sharman stated, “After five years of research and technological advances in the glass systems we work with, we are very excited to be able to manufacture this revolutionary suite. As a group of experts in the glass and architecture industry, we are very passionate about bringing its’ benefits to the market.”
