Skyroom is an urban development company based in London. It was founded in 2018 by the founder of bio-bean, a cleantech company that derives energy from used coffee grounds.

The company is notable for providing a solution for alleviating the pressure on London's housing market and tenants. It proposes a model where 'beautifully-designed, factory-made, high-quality, eco-friendly homes and rooftop gardens [are installed] on London's rooftops'.

The company has published research on the potential for building on London's rooftops with The Institute for Global Prosperity, a department of The Bartlett, University College London's Faculty of the Built Environment. The founder, Arthur Kay, is Visiting  Lecturer  at  The  Institute  for  Sustainable  Resources,  University  College  London,  and  The  Dyson  School  of  Design  Engineering,  Imperial  College, and Entrepreneur-In-Residence at the Institute for Global Prosperity. The research draws on popular urban theories such as Super-linear scaling, and the Compact City model.

The company is based in the Royal Academy of Engineering. It is a signatory of the UN Global Compact.
