piece de resistance
Turning up the heat in a commercial kitchen isn't a worry when you've got Wildfire Commercial Kitchens & Bars on your side.
Back-of-house areas can fall prey to an out of sight, out of mind' approach to design, especially in commercial settings. For the Deloitte Centre, however, strict attention to detail was expected across all areas.
Architects Warren and Mahoney approached the late Michael Carter of Wildfire Commercial Kitchens & Bars to produce a design concept for the 60m² kitchen area, says managing director Nils Danielsen.
"Wildfire is well known for the comprehensive and detailed drawings we produce and the Deloitte project was no different.
"Michael worked closely with the architects and client to incorporate a number of modular and custom-fabricated elements into a tight space, and still provide workability for a high-output corporate kitchen."
Located on the 18th floor, the kitchen comprised one entire glazed wall, requiring custom, self-supporting bench units. Wildfire's own Modular Stainless range includes specially manufactured pieces for this very application such as corner, infill and integrated sink units.
A floating shelf system provides ample storage in a limited space, while appliances from Skope, Moffat and Washtech complete the fit-out.
As a New Zealand company, Wildfire believes it is important to endorse local companies and products wherever possible, says Danielsen. "Brookfield Multiplex was very demanding of quality, not only in design but also towards product choice. Our partners represent the best in their industry, which is why we felt confident specifying their appliances for use in this high-demand environment."
