Kitchen ventilation projects

New restaurant · Soho, London

Maresco

A new restaurant concept with an open kitchen in full view of diners, charcoal cooking, and almost no external space for plant.

What we did

• Extract-only canopy over the charcoal cooking
• ESP and ozone odour control with attenuation, all housed within the kitchen
• Acoustic box fan to keep noise down in a small front-of-house space
• A bespoke supply air wall: warmed by a thyristor-controlled electric heater and released at low velocity, so replacement air moves through the fabric of the building without draughts across the pass or the counter

Pop-up kitchen · Gloucester Docks

Hop Kettle

A kitchen let on short-term leases to a changing line-up of pop-up operators. It had to be versatile and meet the strict requirements of the Gloucester Docks site.

What we did

• Bespoke recirculation system designed and installed for the space, with no external discharge
• Canopy controls suited to different operators using the kitchen

Ongoing filter changes and maintenance are covered by a package the landlord put in place.
