Project Outcomes
Converted Space
Converted a traditional theatre into a dynamic dining and entertainment hub, fulfilling the client’s vision.
Form & Function
Demonstrated Foundry Commercial Kitchens’ ability to balance functionality with thematic design.
Community Impact
Established The Flamingo Room as a cornerstone of nightlife and social gatherings in Vancouver.
Solution & Approach
Addressing the challenge of the small existing space, our approach prioritized clever design solutions that maximized functionality without sacrificing style. The design strategically placed the bar to serve as the focal point, enhancing the flow of movement and interaction within the space.
The layout was carefully crafted to accommodate both dining and entertainment elements, ensuring each area was optimized for its specific use while maintaining a cohesive overall ambience.
Expert Installation
Client Testimonial
I’ve had the pleasure of enlisting the services of Foundry Commercial Kitchens for the past decade. Early on, mostly for sourcing equipment and smallwares, Luke and his knowledgeable team were quick to quote, and deliver exactly what I needed. My needs evolved into bigger projects including sourcing a custom hood vent on a short timeline which was executed seamlessly!
Recently, we built out a new cocktail bar. With a relatively small space and fairly specific needs in terms of equipment and custom stainless, the Foundry team put together an exceptional package which allows our bar team to execute at a high level in a tight space.
I am grateful for the strong relationship we’ve been fortunate to build over the past decade working with Foundry and would recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional experience building out their restaurant/kitchen/bar.”

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, archictectural, 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.
