space requirements

The space will have three key areas, both the Cinema Space and the Social Space, and the connecting Tunnel, which will provide another part of the experience itself.

The North Rotunda will be a social, engaging space, where people enter and exit the cinema, meet up with friends and family, and find out more about the world of film. This space will be focused on belonging and connection, taking inspiration from the manifestation of home and togetherness in film. This space will include:

- Entrance

- Cafe-bar

- Film Museum

- Film Library

The South Rotunda will be the hidden home to the cinema spaces, where visitors enjoy the experience of a film, both in smaller and larger groups. This space will be discoverable from the North Rotunda, and hidden from the outside world. It focuses on immersion and temporality, taking inspiration from places where people converge just for a moment in time. This space will include:

- Cinema (available to hire)

- Snack Bar

- Film Booths (available to book)

The tunnel connects the two spaces, and will provide a journey which both links the two spaces and is an experience on it’s own. The design will create anticipation and excitement for the film, and provide a changing and dynamic experience which is different on every visit.

All spaces will be accessible by both stairs and lifts, and both Rotundas will have accessible unisex WCs.
