    Ivory House, St Katharine Docks, London E1W


    Air Conditioning in Ivory House, St Katharine Docks

    Cool You recently installed an air conditioning system in Ivory House, located at St Katharine Docks. This apartment, set in a Grade II-listed building, offers remarkable views of the docks.

    Constructed in 1858, Ivory House stands as the only original warehouse remaining in St Katharine Docks. However, due to its status as a listed building, the apartment owners faced significant planning restrictions regarding retrofitting an air conditioning system. For instance, conventional outside condenser units were prohibited, and the owners needed planning permission to create vent holes for wall-mounted air conditioning units.

    The technicalities of  air conditioning in Ivory House, St Katharine Docks

    The technicalities of air conditioning in Ivory House, St Katharine Docks presented unique challenges. Thus, the owners sought the expertise of Cool You for an effective solution. In response, we proposed a cutting-edge internal air conditioning system. This system seamlessly integrates with the existing architecture, eliminating the need for planning permission. Consequently, we enhanced the residence’s comfort without complications from external modifications or visible outside condensers.

    Furthermore, we strategically repurposed the dressing room adjacent to the primary bedroom to house the internal condenser. This clever use of space not only preserved the apartment’s aesthetic integrity but also ensured efficient cooling throughout the living areas.

    Cool You has successfully implemented this solution in various projects involving historic or listed buildings. In these cases, conventional air conditioning systems often face strict planning restrictions.

    One standout benefit of our system is the swift installation process. Indeed, our team completed the entire setup within a single day. This minimised disruption for the residents and allowed them to return to their daily lives quickly. As a result, our clients were delighted. They experienced a fresh, cool, and inviting living environment. They also expressed appreciation for the efficiency and professionalism of our service.

    For this project, we installed:

    Master Bedroom: 1 x 3.5kw (13000btu) DC Inverter Water Cooled Internal Condenser
    1 x High Wall Air Conditioning Unit
