Despite its compact size and low ceiling, this cinema delivers an exceptional viewing experience through ingenious design solutions. With a ducted A/C system and a children’s bedroom directly above, sound isolation and spatial efficiency became critical challenges—ones that were met with precision and creativity.

To maximise seating without sacrificing comfort, the layout centers on a primary row of custom-designed Fortress seating—a four-seat lounge that accommodates up to six with fold-down arms for added flexibility. A 200mm riser not only allows for discreet A/C ducting but also creates space for bean bag seating, while a rear bar bench increases capacity to 12 guests with clear sightlines for everyone.

The interior design process involved 13 iterations, each carefully refined to align with the client’s vision. This unwavering commitment to perfection resulted in a cinema that is both stylish and functional, proving that even the smallest spaces can deliver an uncompromising cinematic experience.
