EGLON HOUSE · LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
RENOVATION
Eglon House, the former home of Tim Burton in London, integrated a photovoltaic atrium on the building’s upper floor. Eglon House’s innovative amorphous silicon photovoltaic atrium not only invites a formidable amount of natural light to enter the space but produce energy and filters harmful radiation and insulate the building. Each photovoltaic glass unit is manufactured with an argon chamber to drastically improve the thermal and acoustic insulation. This atrium can presume of achieving a perfect balance among natural light entrance, insulation and energy production.
The photovoltaic glass used in Eglon House’s atrium was an ideal choice, tailored to meet the unique architectural and environmental requirements of the building. Its ability to generate clean energy while maintaining a high level of natural light ensures that the upper floor remains bright and welcoming without sacrificing energy efficiency. The incorporation of the argon chamber significantly enhances the thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption for heating and cooling, especially important in London’s varying climate. Additionally, the glass effectively blocks harmful UV and infrared radiation, ensuring a comfortable interior environment for occupants. The seamless integration of this advanced photovoltaic glass into the design preserves the building’s modern aesthetic while contributing to its overall sustainability, making it an exemplary model of how solar technology can be adapted to high-end residential and commercial spaces.
