Blake Tower

See how Cool You installed air conditioning in apartments in this iconic building on the Barbican Estate

We installed fully internal air conditioning in several apartments at Blake Tower on the Barbican Estate. Blake Tower, formerly the Barbican YMCA, is a recently refurbished Grade II listed property. This iconic building is located in the heart of the City of London.

Our team at Cool You took on the challenge of providing air conditioning that would comply with the building’s listed status. Savva, our Managing Director, led the project. First, he conducted a video site survey to plan the installations. This thorough preparation ensured smooth execution. The installation took place swiftly.

Blake Tower installations took one day!

Each retrofit was completed in just one day, minimising the owners’ disruption. In every apartment, we installed an internal condenser in the utility cupboard. This system is effective and discreet. From there, it serves wall-mounted room units strategically placed in the kitchen, living, and dining areas. We also included units in the primary and second bedrooms, which could double as a home office. These carefully chosen locations ensured optimum air temperature throughout the apartments.

As a result, the owners can work from home in total comfort. This feature is increasingly vital as many people continue to blend their work and home lives.

For a typical Blake Tower installation, we used multiple DC inverter internal condensers, which are known for their efficiency and quiet operation. The High Wall Room Units provide cooling without disrupting the tranquil atmosphere of the apartments. Overall, the project was a success. We met the unique needs of each apartment while preserving the building’s historic charm.

Our innovative internal air conditioning solutions keep Blake Tower apartments comfortable all year round. In summary, our team delivered high-quality installations tailored to a modern lifestyle while respecting the iconic building’s architectural significance.
