This engineered project required significant modifications and dynamic solutions to install a large, eight-hood kitchen on an existing floor. With a goal of minimizing all ceiling drops—and a mechanical consultant working from a different time zone on the East Coast—Airstream effectively utilized our design-assist approach for a successful build-out. Close collaboration with the general contractor, client, engineers, and architects ensured a seamless HVAC solution that supports the luxury dining experience at Din Tai Fung.
