Enchanting Natural Oasis: Exploring the Alluring Lobby of a Theatre in Ahmednagar's Mall"

Tres Atelier as Architects

We do not go to the theater like our ancestors, to escape from the pressure of reality, so much as to confirm our experience of it. With a modern twist, the lobby of the cinema theatre in Ahmednagar mall embraces the changing expectations of moviegoers. It seamlessly combines contemporary design elements with the inspiration drawn from the magnificent Pemgiri Banyan tree, creating a space that is both visually stunning and conceptually meaningful.

Step into the lobby, and you will be greeted by a modern ambiance that pays homage to nature's tranquility. A palette of vibrant and sophisticated blue hues adorns the walls, evoking a sense of calmness and serenity. The clever juxtaposition of matte and glossy surfaces throughout the lobby amplifies the illusion of spaciousness, inviting visitors to explore and immerse themselves in the surroundings.

Soft lighting fixtures have been thoughtfully placed to illuminate the space, casting a warm and inviting glow upon the visitors. This deliberate lighting design not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also creates a cozy atmosphere, allowing moviegoers to unwind and relax before embarking on their cinematic journey.

However, the true centerpiece of the lobby lies overhead—a breathtaking chandelier inspired by the intricate and sprawling branches of the Pemgiri Banyan tree. Composed of interlaced pipes, the chandelier's modern elegance serves as a captivating focal point, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. It is a reminder that even amidst modernity, nature's beauty can be seamlessly integrated into our surroundings.

In the heart of the lobby sits an oval-shaped F&B area, strategically positioned for easy access to refreshments. This design choice not only facilitates convenience for moviegoers but also draws inspiration from the banyan tree's expansive canopy. The oval shape serves as a gathering spot, encouraging visitors to socialize, indulge in a delicious meal, or savor a quick snack before or after their movie experience.

The lobby materials have been meticulously selected to establish a connection between the indoor space and the surrounding environment. High-Density High Moisture Resistance (HDHMR) panels add a touch of modernity while paying homage to the natural world. Mirrors strategically placed throughout the lobby create an illusion of depth and amplify the sense of space, reflecting the beauty of the surroundings. The thoughtful incorporation of stone elements further reinforces the connection to nature, reminding us of the profound impact it has on our lives.
