DF20

Selected projects

Designed around
real service.

These project stories focus on the operational thinking visible in the delivered spaces, followed by the complete portfolio of supplied DF20 work.

01 / Education & training

Teaching kitchen

The operational question: how do multiple learners work independently while teaching staff retain visibility and the room remains easy to circulate?

The design response: repeatable island stations create equal access to cooking, preparation and wash-up. Wide routes separate movement from active work zones, while the open arrangement supports demonstration and supervision.

What it enables: consistent teaching conditions, clear sightlines and a high-capacity room that can reset efficiently between sessions.

02 / Restaurant service

Live service kitchen

The operational question: how can preparation, cooking, plating and collection meet without creating conflict at the point of greatest pressure?

The design response: a central service island defines individual working zones while keeping the brigade connected. Suspended heat lamps support the final handover, and generous stainless work surfaces keep the pass practical under load.

What it enables: controlled movement, quick communication and a clean route from cookline to finished plate.

03 / Front & back of house

Open restaurant

The operational question: how can the kitchen perform as serious infrastructure while also contributing to the atmosphere of the dining room?

The design response: service routes, lighting and the kitchen interface are considered as part of the interior. Guests see activity and craft, while the working team keeps a clearly defined production zone beyond the pass.

What it enables: a joined-up guest experience in which the kitchen feels intentional, not hidden or added later.
