Broadwick Street Hotel - Soho - London - 2020

The conversion of three buildings on one of Soho's most prominent street corners. Situated at the crossroads between Broadwick Street and Berwick Street, the scheme will involve the complete demolition of two 1980s office buildings, in Broadwick Street and Berwick Street, and the retention of an 1880s property in between on the intersection of the two streets.

In the heart of the Soho Conservation Area, the scheme "seeks to seamlessly integrate the new hotel into the distinctive cosmopolitan fabric of Soho, complementing and enriching the mix of uses found in this area of London". The hotel will extend over eight floors above ground and three basement levels, with the 69 guestrooms occupying floors one to six, and the two top storeys of the building set back to reduce the massing and to provide a destination bar and restaurant.

Blauberg were chosen to supply two larger supply air handling units to deliver over 3.5 m3/s of air to the hotel’s kitchens. Both units were overside to achieve this airflow and with an extremely low energy efficiency SFP (specific fan power) target of below 0.6 w/l/s.

One unit was mounted internally within the structure of the building with the remaining unit being externally mounted on the roof top. Both units were supplied with Blauberg buit-in controls, Eurovent standard F7 filters and low pressure hot hater heating.
