Case Study
TS9Designs provided full MEP plans and architectural floor planning support for Chef's Roma Kitchen. The project combined high-capacity kitchen requirements, guest-facing comfort targets, and code-oriented detailing needed for full-service restaurant operations.
Our design approach prioritized coordinated execution: kitchen-driven system loads, dining-area environmental quality, and construction documentation that minimizes inter-trade conflicts.
Larger restaurant footprints introduce compounding infrastructure demands: significant cooking loads, ventilation pressure balancing, sanitation-driven plumbing volume, and nontrivial electrical service planning. In hot-climate markets, cooling strategy and kitchen make-up air assumptions become central to operational success.
Chef's Roma Kitchen needed a technical plan set that could support permitting, contractor pricing, and long-term reliability while still honoring hospitality layout and guest-experience goals.
TS9Designs developed load assumptions by zone and coordinated kitchen support airflows with dining comfort priorities. Ventilation strategy accounted for heavy kitchen operation and practical pressure relationships across front- and back-of-house spaces.
Electrical planning included service and panel sizing based on connected load and demand methodology, with dedicated support for kitchen systems and structured panel schedules that improve troubleshooting and future expansion flexibility.
Domestic and sanitary systems were sized using fixture-unit logic aligned with restaurant use intensity. Design included maintainable routing strategy, hot-water support assumptions for high sanitation frequency, and practical service access.
Because TS9Designs coordinated architectural and MEP scopes, equipment footprints, pathways, and clearances were resolved early. QA checks validated consistency across schedules, notes, and calculated assumptions before issue.
The permit set was structured for code-review clarity, with organized schedule documentation and assumptions that reduce plan-review friction and improve field interpretation.
The project received a technically coherent design package that supports both buildability and daily operations. The documentation quality improved contractor clarity and reduced avoidable coordination gaps.
Chef's Roma Kitchen demonstrates TS9Designs' ability to pair hospitality-focused design intent with robust engineering execution at full-service scale.
