The Challenge
The Heights Bistro was opening in a converted historic warehouse space — a 2,200 sq ft footprint with structural columns, uneven load-bearing walls, and outdated utility runs that were non-negotiable.
The ownership group needed a commercial kitchen capable of running 200+ covers per evening service with a brigade of 12. Existing mechanical infrastructure limited gas and electrical routing options significantly.
Every square foot had to perform. There was no room for redundancy in layout — only precision. The kitchen also required NSF-certified equipment throughout and had to pass Jefferson County Health Department inspection on first submission.
We needed a partner who understood both the operational demands of a high-volume kitchen and the physical constraints of a heritage building. MAP delivered on both.
— Marcus Delacroix, Executive Chef & Co-Owner
The Solution
MAP’s design team conducted a full structural and utility assessment before any equipment was specified. We developed three distinct layout iterations using CAD-based kitchen planning, optimizing for the brigade workflow the chef had established over 15 years.
The final design adopted a parallel-run cooking line with a dedicated garde manger station, a centralized pass, and a warewashing zone positioned to minimize cross-traffic during peak service.
All equipment was specified from NSF-certified manufacturers with documented service networks in the Denver metro area. Installation was phased to align with the contractor’s build schedule.
