Karl Strauss Downtown Los Angeles

Converted existing commercial bank with office suites in multi-story high rise building to commercial kitchen, restaurant with open dining, bar and micro-brewery. Existing Air Handler and VAV system serving the building was capped and sealed to isolate restaurant fumes from migrating back to Air Handler and other tenant spaces. DEC served as a sub-consultant to Walt Conwell Architects providing mechanical and plumbing construction design and construction administrative services.
