Coup de force at Chef's Table
In a coup de force of form meets function, the glorious champagne-gold hood, now above the chef’s table, is not only drop-dead gorgeous but practical too. It covers a one-of-a-kind suspended ventilation system that magically extracts all the cooking fumes, oil, smoke and odours – with no more than a ‘shhhhh’.
Extreme precision was necessary to avoid unwanted problems down the track. Engineers from Meinhardt and Halton ventilation specialists, worked closely with Architecture firm dwp, to develop the highly efficient system. The site certainly brought various challenges. An existing building with limited access that required most parts be assembled on site; piece by piece… The structure definitely did not lend itself to a traditional hood! So the experts put their heads together to find a bespoke solution.
