Where Comfort Meets Craft
TOAC raises the bar at Canopy by Hilton in Longkloof
In Cape Town’ s vibrant Longkloof district, the newly completed Canopy by Hilton brings a fresh, contemporary presence to one of the city’ s most iconic neighbourhoods. Designed by dhk Architects and built by Isipani Construction, this premium lifestyle hotel blends heritage character with modern hospitality.
At the heart of this transformation is a carefully engineered HVAC system, installed by TOAC( Two Oceans Air Conditioning) in partnership with WSP design engineers. From site establishment to commissioning, the TOAC team delivered a complete comfort solution anchored by a central cooling plant – selected for its reliability, energy efficiency, and performance.
“ This project was a major achievement for us,” says TOAC CEO, Scott Ferreira.“ It demanded precision across every aspect – from project management and system integration to onsite delivery and controls integration.”
Leading the project was Saadiqa Petersen, whose composed, hands-on approach kept timelines and quality on track. Onsite, Soeleiman Stellenboom ensured smooth installation across the final critical phases.
TOAC’ s long-standing partnership with suppliers and subcontractors also played a central role. From equipment supply to technical support, consistency helped ensure performance from day one.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HVAC SYSTEM INCLUDE:
• Integration of a central cooling plant into a responsive control environment;
• Zoned climate control across guest rooms, public areas, and back-of-house;
• Commissioned to meet Hilton’ s high comfort and sustainability standards.
TOAC and their partners delivered more than just temperature control. They delivered the mechanical backbone for one of Cape Town’ s most anticipated hotel openings – a system designed to operate quietly, efficiently, and reliably for years to come.
“ It’ s about more than just HVAC,” says Ferreira.“ It’ s about creating environments where people feel comfortable – consistently and effortlessly.”
At Canopy by Hilton Longkloof, that’ s exactly what guests will experience.
