Castle Hill Gold Class
Indyk Architects was approached by Greater Union, to create the flagship Gold Class Cinema for their new branding as Events Cinemas. The 450m2 space was broken into smaller ‘rooms’ through the use of colour, light and built elements. Upon entry a backlit bulkhead snakes its way around the central bar. The lit boxes filled with looped old cinema film pays homage to the end of the projection cinema era. To the left, modular lounges weave their way between reclaimed telegraph poles and acrylic tubes filled with up-lit fabric. The dying moments of a bushfire, embers still glowing. Adjacent is a lounge of repeating angled banquettes, high backed to create intimate niches. The cinema entrance is highlighted with backlit honeycombed fibreglass-like panels. A watery digitised image flows behind the numbers inviting you into the cinemas
