Case Study: Staying Cool at Two Fifty One, Southwark Bridge Road, SE1

“I’m no longer dreading summer.” – Colin, a happy Cool You customer

The Challenge: A Beautiful View… and an Unbearable Heat Trap

A story about air conditioning in Two Fifty One Southwark Bridge Road SE1. Colin lives in a stunning, modern apartment in Two Fifty One—a striking 41-storey residential tower in SE1, complete with floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic city views. But with south-facing exposure and minimal airflow, summer days turned his apartment into a stifling heat box, often topping 30 °C by early evening.

Standard solutions like fans and blackout curtains barely made a dent. A fixed external air conditioning system wasn’t possible—like many high-rise developments, Two Fifty One prohibits external condenser units for planning and aesthetic reasons.

The Cool You Solution: High-Performance, Fully Internal Air Conditioning

Cool You designed a bespoke, fully internal solution perfectly matched to Colin’s space and layout. Here’s what was installed:

• High-wall mounted room unit (5.3 kW / 18,000 BTU/h): Positioned at the entrance to the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. This powerful unit delivers rapid and even cooling for large open spaces—quietly and efficiently.
• Internal condenser unit: A compact water-cooled condenser (whisper-quiet and vibration-free), neatly housed in an existing utility cupboard. It required no external modifications or planning permission.
• Smart technology and eco credentials:
  • DC inverter technology delivers highly efficient cooling with variable output
  • Uses R32 refrigerant, which has a lower environmental impact than older gases – read more about R32 here.
  • iFeel remote + Wi-Fi connectivity for easy, intuitive control via smartphone app or manual remote

Expert Installation—Done in a Day

Cool You’s highly skilled installation team completed the retrofit in just one day, with zero disruption to the existing décor or structure. Everything was handled with precision:

• Pipework and drainage discreetly routed
• No visible cables, no damage to walls
• Utility cupboard reassembled immaculately
• Area cleaned and tested thoroughly

Colin was especially impressed by how quiet and professional the team were throughout. No shortcuts, no stress—just a clean, high-quality job from start to finish.

“From the first contact to the final sign-off, the Cool You team were five-star all the way. They responded to every question promptly and the installers were exceptional. I couldn’t be happier.”
