Featured Air Conditioning & Ventilation Projects
My Food Bag, Auckland
Solution
My Food Bag wanted a modern, open plan office space as well as a working kitchen for menu design, complete with a photography area and cold store. The existing building was stripped back and the old water-cooled air conditioning systems were removed to allow for the installation of a Daikin VRF multi-system. All services were exposed to give the space an industrial style look.
