KITCHENS BEHIND THE LINE: DESIGN INNOVATION IN CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS
We understand that kitchens in correctional and defence settings operate under intense conditions where reliability, safety, and operational efficiency are non-negotiable. In these environments, food quality and service directly impact morale, health, and overall facility performance. That’s why our kitchen solutions are engineered for precision, consistency, and seamless functionality—supporting staff and service teams in delivering high standards, day in and day out.
Our designs fuse advanced food service infrastructure with a strong commitment to sustainability and security. From durable, energy-efficient equipment and easy-to-sanitise surfaces to layouts that streamline workflow and minimise waste, we create kitchen environments that stand up to demanding usage while upholding environmental and operational responsibility. Because in mission-critical spaces, great design doesn’t just serve—it sustains and protects.
Meeting stringent health and safety obligations is non-negotiable in correctional and defence facilities. From rigorous food safety compliance to occupational health protocols, every aspect of kitchen design must support secure, hygienic, and efficient operations. You need a design partner who understands the complexities of these high-security environments—one who prioritises safety, reliability, and operational integrity at every stage.
Enter Green Design Group: specialists in commercial kitchen design for institutional and defence settings. With deep experience crafting functional, compliant, and robust foodservice spaces, we are uniquely positioned to support your facility’s mission. Whether in correctional centres or military bases, our designs are engineered to streamline workflows, minimise risk, and meet the most demanding regulatory standards.
Our methodology blends commercial-grade durability with sustainability and security. We integrate energy-efficient equipment, anti-tamper materials, and strategic layouts that reduce waste and maximise control—ensuring your kitchens meet both performance benchmarks and environmental responsibilities.
Behind this approach is Director Brigette Green, whose expertise spans institutional foodservice, hospitality, and logistics. Her knowledge of operational nuance and safety protocols drives designs that elevate morale, enhance service quality, and uphold the reputation of your facility.
