Why our clients continue to choose us.
Architects, restaurant owners, and hospitality clients choose our mechanical engineering firm because we specialize in designing reliable, permit‑ready mechanical and plumbing systems tailored specifically to restaurant and hospitality environments. Our experience on projects such as Joey Newport Beach, CA, LazyDog Alpharetta, GA, Finish Line Auto Club Calabasas, CA, and Chick-Fil-A Strip at Harmon, demonstrates our ability to coordinate closely with architectural layouts, kitchen equipment, and local health department requirements to minimize revisions and approval delays. We understand the operational demands of commercial kitchens, dining spaces, and back‑of‑house systems, and we design practical, code‑compliant solutions that support efficient construction, long‑term performance, and smooth inspections—helping projects move from design to opening with confidence.
Joey Newport- Newport Beach
Joey Newport Beach is an approximately 8,000 square foot restaurant featuring a large exhibition kitchen and a prominent, beautifully integrated patio space. Our mechanical engineering design supported the restaurant’s high energy culinary environment with a 70‑ton air conditioning system, carefully sized to handle significant kitchen and occupant loads while maintaining guest comfort. To improve working conditions for the culinary staff, we designed fully conditioned make‑up air to offset kitchen exhaust and help keep cooks cool during peak operations. Throughout the dining areas, we incorporated a sleek linear diffuser layout that delivers efficient air distribution while blending seamlessly into the ceiling design, preserving the clean architectural aesthetic of the space.
Lazy Dog Restaurant – Alpharetta is a 6,500‑square‑foot restaurant with a high‑end yet rustic aesthetic, featuring a welcoming bar and a thoughtfully designed dog‑friendly dining experience. Our mechanical engineering design provides 50 tons of air conditioning and cooled make‑up air for the kitchen, supporting both guest comfort and back‑of‑house operations. Exposed painted ductwork was carefully integrated to remain visually discreet while delivering effective cooling, and special attention was given to the brand’s signature architectural tower, where innovative air distribution solutions were developed to provide heating and cooling without impacting architectural or structural elements.
LazyDog - Alpharetta, GA
Finish Line Auto Club in Calabasas, CA, a multi‑unit luxury garage facility designed for elite car collectors. Each unit required full air conditioning while accommodating an open‑concept layout, active vehicle use, and large garage doors. We overcame these challenges by precisely balancing cooling capacity, air distribution, and exhaust ventilation to control heat gain and safely manage vehicle emissions. The result is a high‑performance mechanical system that delivers comfort, air quality, and reliability in a demanding, high‑end automotive environment.
Finish Line AutoClub - Calabasas, CA
Chick‑fil‑A Strips – Harmon Avenue, Las Vegas, NV was delivered within an existing casino‑adjacent building, where both mechanical and plumbing systems had to be carefully adapted to significant site constraints. With plumbing limited by a post‑tension slab and restricted routing options, and mechanical systems required to avoid dense existing infrastructure, our design focused on creative coordination and precise system placement. Despite the limited scope, the complexity of the environment demanded thoughtful engineering solutions to successfully integrate new restaurant systems without disrupting the surrounding structure or operations.
