The designers of the new main floor of a popular international hotel in Sydney wanted to make a bold statement to highlight two new open kitchens in The Ternary restaurant.
Fitting bold new kitchens into existing spaces comes with a multitude of challenges. Stoddart was tasked to implement a solution that would capture and extract cooking odours and smoke, as well as prevent them spilling into the surrounding environment. The size and design of the ventilated ceiling had to blend into the surrounding area and complement the rest of the hotel.
The Halton Ventilated Ceiling solution built by Stoddart is designed for installation over cooking equipment, such as chargrills and induction cooking equipment and teppanyaki plates. These ventilated ceilings extract cooking pollutants from the open kitchen.
The Halton Ventilated Ceiling solution Capture Jet air system provides an engineered solution that creates a balance between the kitchen environment and the outside area, as well as creating an “air curtain” to reduce the effect of cross breezes commonly experienced in an open kitchen environment. The Halton design suited the low ceiling space requirements over each kitchen while aesthetically blending into the flowing design of the refurbished areas. stoddart.com.au
