Imprevisto Barcelona Restaurant

Morgui participated in the development of the extraction and ventilation system for the new open kitchen of Imprevisto Restaurant, a gastronomic space located in the heart of Barcelona's Eixample district that focuses on a culinary experience based on surprise and direct interaction between kitchen and diner.

The project, designed by Pere Cortacans and equipped by Gastroproject, required a solution capable of seamlessly integrating into the restaurant's architecture, while simultaneously guaranteeing high-performance smoke extraction and maximum customer comfort.

The centerpiece of the installation is a custom-made, one-piece 3.5-meter INDOK hood, specifically designed to fit an existing structural column and blend seamlessly into the space.

The hood incorporates an internal air induction system that improves smoke capture and its channelling to the extraction area, increasing overall efficiency and reducing smoke dispersion.

Due to the kitchen's layout and its direct connection to the dining area, an air supply plenum with Morgui's signature perforated design was also created. In this case, the air is directed vertically to prevent drafts on diners seated opposite the kitchen, significantly improving comfort in the space.

The hood also features 3000K LED lighting, Morgui straight-plate filters, and an 11-point fire protection system, offering a complete solution that combines safety, efficiency, and design.

To ensure the proper functioning of the installation, various ventilation systems were incorporated for both smoke extraction and indoor air renewal.

The main extraction is carried out by a UNIC 18/9 model ventilation unit equipped with a 400°C/2 h certified fan, complying with the regulatory requirements for smoke extraction systems in professional kitchens.

On the other hand, the supply air is handled by a BASIC 12/12 model ventilation unit equipped with a pre-filtration system for external particles, helping to improve the quality of the air supplied to the premises.

All equipment is managed by three-phase frequency converters with IP66 protection, allowing the motors to be adjusted according to the kitchen's actual needs. Analogue potentiometers are available for remote control of the extraction and supply air frequency converters, easily accessible to kitchen staff.

This system optimizes energy consumption, improves the installation's performance, and helps maintain stable working conditions for both kitchen staff and customers.

The result is an extraction and ventilation system perfectly integrated into a high-end open kitchen, where technical efficiency, architectural design and user comfort coexist in balance to offer a unique gastronomic experience.
