DESIGN

Foundry Kitchens specializes in designing, building, and supplying high-performance commercial kitchens.

OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Form Follows Function, and Great Design Ensures Both

The phrase “form follows function” is a classic design principle that means the shape or aesthetic of something should be primarily based on its intended purpose.

In the context of a commercial kitchen, it means that the layout, equipment, and flow of the space should be designed around how the kitchen actually operates — not just what looks good.

Our expert designers can achieve both functionality and aesthetic appeal — a kitchen that performs efficiently while being visually cohesive and pleasant to work in.

OUR DESIGN TEAM

Professional commercial kitchen designers are more than interior designers. It’s not about creating a space that just looks good — it’s about engineering a highly functional environment where workflow, efficiency, safety, and compliance all intersect. These spaces need to support peak performance during the busiest hours, meet strict health codes, and adapt to ever-changing menus and staff.

1. Schematic Design

2. Design Development

3. Consulting & Specification

We start with an initial exploration with our clients and their space. This allows our team to establish requirements and provide solutions and layouts within architectural parameters.

A preliminary schematic layout is then developed with a focus on kitchen flow and cooking intent.

Once the general schematic has been approved by the client, we further coordinate and consult on the project with our team, which includes mechanical, electrical, architectural, and structural.

We manage the project from start to finish and continue to overcome any issues discovered during the construction phase.

Our commitment to excellence doesn’t end once the project is complete. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients by continuing to support them long after the initial design and installation phases.

Through our consulting services, we provide expert guidance to help clients fine-tune their operations, adapt to evolving needs, and maintain peak performance in their foodservice facilities.
