The idea is to turn this feature into an advantage by creating a pathway to the cinema theatres.
The dark, charcoal grey façade is a reference to the ambiance in cinema theatres. Its main features are cinema posters and neon signs. The red floor stands out and is an invitation to enter the cinema, it is the red carpet for the artists’ entrance. Once inside, the entrance hall is decorated with a reflective surface to distort our perceptions, just like a special effect in a film.
