Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and low-voltage design for this $10 million project began in 2014. The project consists of a new Main Kitchen building attached to the existing “Breezeway”, a 2,500 square foot Annex, and upgrades to the dining room located in the historic French steam laundry structure. Some feature spaces include a new wine cellar with capacity for 15,000 selections, conference room, a butchery, and outdoor seating. The kitchen features glass walls giving passersby a peak into the main food preparation space.
The new main kitchen for this Michelin Guide San Francisco three-star rated restaurant is a piece of art as much as it is a functional, state-of-the-art food preparation facility. A prominent feature of the main kitchen is the ceiling, designed by Snøhetta, which gracefully integrates with the Halton Ventilated Ceiling Systems over the main cooking surfaces and a linear skylight. Our air distribution system design was carefully integrated into the kitchen ceiling to provide comfort for the staff while avoiding drafts.
