MAIN LOBBY
• The main lobby of the complex is
slightly inset and the counters face the
corridor bringing in notice of the people
in the main stream circulation.

• Ticket counter faces the

corridor space of the mall.
This prevents from giving long
queue tracks and waiting
spaces near that.

• There is no separate lobby near

the ticket counter
• Box office is along with the
counter outside the main lobby.
This space is also meant for
people to stand and watch the
movie trailers.

• The box office which face the

main corridor attracts the
people moving through the
mall.
 Main entry to the
lobby

• Glass with view towards the

corridor outside. Making it more
spacious.
• Seating is provided in the left side of
the main entry.

The waiting lounge area

•The waiting lounge is provide only
within the theatre lobby.
•Cinema posters clad the columns near the counters.

•Every vertical space is used to display posters or

screens showing movie trailers.

•The area near the food counter is lit up with warm

golden yellow lights and red.

•Seating is not provided near the counters. It is only

meant for quick take away .
 •The lighting in the foyer is again
warm with yellow and white.
•The doors to the screens are of
red with the respected number of
door laid in pattern on them.
•Each door is 2 m wide.

•The wall plaster itself forms the

main finish in the interior. To define
certain spaces, the lights there are
made to be Red against the yellow
back ground.

•There are only four screens inside the complex.

•Each of the screen is in a higher level than the main
entry level.
•The entries to the four screens which opens into stairs are
from the common foyer which further leads to the toilets
and washrooms.
•The main foyer after the entries to
the screen diverts into two
corridors leading to the washrooms
for ladies and gents respectively.
•so there is minimum circulation to
the washrooms without creating a
crowd in the foyer during peak hours. •The exits are common for theatres.
So the doors open to the external
corridor and moves to the back exit
through parking.

•Dolby atmos adds two discrete channels of sound to
increase the realism of all types of movies.

•With two new channels of sound, Dolby® Surround 7.1

extends the creative palette for filmmakers and enables
movie sound that better matches the onscreen action.

•Dolby Surround 7.1 enhances audio definition,

so individual sounds are clearer and more distinct.

•Dolby Surround 7.1 improves the surround sound

experience across the entire theatre

INTRODUCTION OF
ACOUSTICS
Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study
of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including
topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.
It may be defined as :-
(a) Science of sound, including its production, transmission, and
effects, including biological and psychological effects.
(b)Those qualities of a room that, together, determine its
character with respect to auditory effects.
IMPORTANCE OF
ACOUSTICS
Importance of Acoustics
Acoustics are fundamentally important to learning environments.
Learning is intrinsically linked with communication, and aural (sound)
communication is acoustics. Large specialized rooms like
auditoriums, gyms, and cinema theaters needs careful acoustical
engineering

Architectural acoustics
Architectural acoustics (also known as building acoustics) involves
the scientific understanding of how to achieve a good sound within a
building. It typically involves the study of speech intelligibility, speech
privacy and music quality in the built environment
INTERIOR
FINISHES
It comprises of :-
a) Flooring.
b) Wall finishes.
c) Ceiling.
d) Furniture.
FLOORING
# FARRAT ISOMAT ACOUSTIC FLOATING FLOORS are used to provide very high
isolation between noisy or quiet rooms and surroundings rooms.
# They can be built as box in box systems with the walls and ceiling build off the
floating floor.

USED GLOBALLY IN ALL KINDS OF BUILDINGS

^ Excellent Acoustics and vibration isolation performance.
^ Natural frequencies down to 6Hz.
^ Acoustics air gap between 25 and 200 mm.
^ Floating concrete slab thickness between 50 and 2000mm.
^ Load bearing capacity up to 900kN/m2.
^ Ease, speed and adaptability of installation with minimal waste.
 PRELUDE
WALL FABRICS
It offers a texture and feel which is unobtrusive, not
detracting from the appeal of other
design features around it.

-Flexibility in design, layout, acoustic and load

bearing performance.
- Flexibility in delivery.
-Supplied fully installed or as a kit for customer
installation.
- Economical.
- Use of high quality, long lifetime materials.
 WALL
FINISHES
Acoustic curtains are typically made of the heavy duty, flame retardant,
acoustically absorbent fabrics and can be used with various track systems to afford
Greater flexibility than fixed sound absorptive panels.

FLEXIBLE FABRIC SYSTEM TO ABSORB SOUND

^ Typically used for recording studios, sound sets, dance etc and in venues
ranging from schools to theaters.
^ Acoustic curtains can be used to cover windows areas , to divide spaces or
arranged to cover head or reflective surfaces which allows an element of
acoustic ‘tuning’ within the room.
^ Acoustic curtains are manufactured from either wool serge or velvet velour,
as
the heavier nature of these fabrics provide the best acoustic results.
^ Track selection is based on application, dependent on curtain size/weight and
arrangement .
^ Acoustic curtains are primarily intended for sound absorptive application, as
they offer minimal sound transmission loss.
 MAINTENANCE:
^ Acoustic curtain fabric can only be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner
or soft brush. Wet cleaning of flame retardant material will compromise the
fire resistance and must be avoided.
^ Acoustic wall curtains last in excess of 10-15 years with little maintenance. Although
Rarely required, they can be easily cleaned and repaired.
^ Acoustic wall curtains are easily the most cost effective option for a high quality,
Professional looking cinema value.
WOOL CINEMA WALL FABRICS
^ Cinema uses wool that is heavy- weight, opaque and extremely durable, in order to
Assemble the very best stage drapes, acoustic sound control curtain systems, and other
Wall curtains.
ACOUSTIC PANELS
^ Acoustic wall panels are a cost effective and attractive means of providing your venue
With the highest quality audio performance.
ACOUSTIC STRETCH FABRIC WALL
^ Covering cinema walls with acoustic stretch fabric is an alternative to the use of acoustic
Curtains to manage the sound and echo characteristics in the cinema auditorium.
CUSTOM WALL FINISHES
^ Specialty cinema can be design and install any sort of custom wall finish to give your cinem a
A state of the art appearance.
CEILINGS
Manufactured using optimum quality terracotta, these tiles offers resistance to
humidity, heat and superior acoustical performance.
Available in various shapes and sizes, these are readily used in
offices, multiplexes, recording studios and construction industry.

# Subtex Ebony, subtex pebble, subtex plane and subtex nubby walls and ceilings.
These products are widely used for furnishing offices, auditorium, retail outlets,
Multiplex.
# Its range is appreciated for its humidity tolerance, durability and easy access to
the plenum.
SPECIFICATIONS:
^ Surface provided with white surface finish for monolithic texture and black
surface for fully light absorption.
^ Large format – 1200mm X 1200mm.
^ Light weight - 1.5kg – 3.0kg without contributing to structural load of
building.
^ Fast track panels can be installed in T- grids after fit out (large size provide 4
tiles in 1 install).
^ High quality, high aesthetic, high NRC, ceiling tiles and panels.
FURNIT
URES
TYPES OF FURNITURE USED IN MULTIPLEX THEATRE
^ Theater seats come in a variety of widths, depending on the
IRWIN MARQUEE
age of the theater, the space available and the target audience.
^ High end theater may have luxury seating that is wider than
the cushions at your local multiplex.
^ Movie theaters may also differ from live theater spaces in
seat width.
^ Standard seat width varies between 18 and 22”,but older
theaters, such as historic movie houses from the 1940s and
IRWIN SPRINGFIELD
earlier, may have 15 -16” seat.
