2. UNK project
The architects of the project: Yuliy
Borisov, Vladimir Garanin, Irina
Kolokolova,
Julia Tryaskina
Address: Sochi, ul. New Dawn, 7
The total area Cineplex: 2800 sq ft
Shell area: 800 sq m
Project creation date: 2010-11
Year built: 2012
3. The location is a film complex housed on two
levels. The entrance, offices
and a restaurant are located on the lower floor.
The escalator goes to the second level where
cinema halls, snack bar, a Japanese restaurant
are placed.
4. The concept was
designing using
three-dimensional
modelling software
in the design
concept of a shell
and its next
incarnation
(detailed design)
5. The unique characteristics
of the property meant
a holistic approach was
applied to the organization
of space – the overflowing
cover into the shell mirror
creates the atmosphere
of the interior.
6. The direction of
circular mirrors,
which makes up the
cover, is designed
In a special
programme based
on the parameters to
mark ceiling and
suspension systems
of communications.
The number and
direction creates a
dome effect
of overflowing
polished mirror
scatter rays of
searchlights,
uniformly filling the
entire space with
light.
8. The architectural solution
offered by UNK project was
that an indoor "shell"
as a wavy flowing sphere
avoiding hanging
communication of different
height and floor slabs,
smoothly passes from one
space
to another.
9. Eaves go along the
perimeter of the
space and behind
the eaves
spotlights are
placed. The whole
lighting system is
built on a reflective
light from these
discs.
10. Materials of interior's
solutions include:
Mirrors using
composites with
an aluminium
topcoat; the surface
of the mirror is
polished high-gloss;
the walls of the main
hall are beige and
orange in colour; the
floors are all grey
granite; and the
furniture in the lounge
are from Kartell and
Arper.
