Chinatown London W1 Project

KAWAN Restaurant Fit-Out – Soho, London W1

Commercial Restaurant Fit-Out & Hospitality Refurbishment | Chinatown London

MD Building Services successfully delivered the full commercial fit-out and refurbishment of KAWAN Restaurant at 12 Macclesfield Street, Soho, London W1, located within the heart of London’s Chinatown district.

Completed ahead of opening, the project involved the transformation of the site into a fully operational high-spec hospitality environment, delivered under contract administration alongside architects, consultants, landlord stakeholders and the wider professional team.

This Central London restaurant refurbishment required detailed coordination, programme management and practical problem-solving throughout all stages of construction, commissioning and final handover.

Scope of Works

The project included the installation, coordination and integration of:

* Commercial kitchen fit-out
* Certified commercial gas infrastructure
* Specialist catering equipment installation
* Commercial kitchen extraction systems
* Fresh air ventilation systems
* Electrical and fire alarm compliance works
* Mechanical & electrical coordination
* Front-of-house restaurant fit-out
* Bespoke interior finishes and decorative features

Working within a constrained Soho environment required careful logistical planning, material coordination and structured sequencing to maintain programme delivery ahead of the restaurant opening date

Commercial Kitchen & Building Services Installation

A major element of the project involved the delivery of a fully integrated basement commercial kitchen environment designed to support high-volume restaurant operations.

MD Building Services coordinated the installation of:

* specialist cooking equipment,
* commercial extraction systems,
* fresh air ventilation,
* certified gas systems,
* and associated building services infrastructure.

Due to the specialist nature of the hospitality equipment involved, practical adaptation and coordination were required throughout the installation process to ensure compliance with UK regulations, operational performance and final certification standards.

All required compliance processes, including electrical certification, fire alarm works and building control coordination, were completed ahead of opening
