Large kitchens are increasingly evolving from classic cooking areas into highly automated production and catering systems. Rising demands on capacity, hygiene, energy efficiency and staffing are changing design and operation fundamentally. Already in the early project phases, production processes, material flows, building services and architecture have to be matched precisely to each other. Only then do kitchens emerge that support security of supply, economical operations and future developments in equal measure.
Küchentechnik
Modern large kitchens are highly complex production and logistics systems. We design integrated kitchen concepts in which production processes, goods logistics, hygiene and building services are matched precisely to each other.

Digitalisation kitchen 4.0
Modern large kitchens are becoming digitally connected production environments. Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, dishwashing and serving technology continuously deliver operating data that makes production more transparent and enables demand-based control. Already at the design stage we create the conditions for a future-proof digital kitchen infrastructure.

Neue Zentralküche des Städtischen Klinikums Karlsruhe
Für das Städtische Klinikum Karlsruhe planten wir den Umbau der Häuser T und F zu einer neuen Cook-&-Chill-Zentralküche mit Speisesaal. Die Vollküche versorgt heute Patienten und Mitarbeitende des gesamten Klinikums. Besondere Herausforderungen waren der denkmalgerechte Umbau, die Integration in den bestehenden Campus sowie die Aufrechterhaltung des laufenden Klinikbetriebs während der gesamten Bauphase.
