The new interiors refer to the tradition and history of the cinema, and each room retains its individual character. The space is fully adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. During the summer, open-air silent cinema screenings using headphones are also held on the cinema terrace. The entrance to the cinema is decorated with a replica of a neon sign designed by Richard Kulm in the 1960s. It was built in the 1970s and hung there until the 1990s. It was made by the same Peter Heinze neon studio that created the original.
The property is located in a strict downtown area in a courtyard and is accessed by a 2-meter-wide gate. In terms of logistics, the renovation work was very difficult, and thanks to the cooperation with “Inwestycje Wielkopolskie” it was possible to use additional adjacent land for the delivery of materials. As the building is located in a conservation zone, it was necessary to meet a number of requirements set by the architects and the Office of the City Historic Preservation Officer.
The executive challenge was to ensure the required acoustics of the building. The cinema halls are located in an apartment building that is also adjacent to residential units. – Rafal Kotlarz, Project Manager
