This is the room where I can live for my entire life. While the BubbleTree by French designer Pierre Stephane Dumas guaranteed an exhilarating experience under the stars while keeping all the comfort of a bedroom suite, this sphere of clear polycarbonate designed by Julian King Architect for London is steps ahead. Measuring 7 meters in diameter, the clear polycarbonate room has a room of 42 sq. meters. Situated between the Thames River and the sky above, the room offers panoramic views of the surroundings, along with all the modern comforts. The guests reach the room by climbing a gentle ramp to the raised floor. The room has a central sky-lit shower that is encircled by a 180-degrees riverside seat. In the south side of the room, there is a queen size bed that offers views of the roof garden.

Inside the room are the drawers, hanging closet, cushions for 180-degrees sofa, a small fridge below the cooktop and a tea kettle. The cover, which has been shaped like the continents of the Earth, comes coated with the photovoltaics, solidified drops of silicone on transparent film, to meet the power needs. During the night, the hundreds of LEDs create an ethereal glow. If seen from far, the room resembles a moon or our own Earth. The Room for London, if ever built, is sure to become the dream room for the most affluent in the world.
