Design Challenge
This cinema has the most small capacity of the seats. It could be possible that make capacity more and less the amoutn of halls, but because of the feature of small population of the city and to make variety of showing movie, it is decided to make as possible as many halls with small amount of seats.
Research
Even not very large area of the cinema, the curtain wall facade makes not only movie goer but also people who just interested can come easier. The lobby is as if it is sun room and nature look materials are adapted as like slate stones and woods, tried to take into the nature of Chichibu city into it. There are many older people at the city so tried to here to be a place just enjoy and makes communication over generations.
The cinema is not only a cinema complex, but also the living room with movie culture.
Inspiration
It have been a 29 years the Cihchibu city had lost a movie theatre. The developer P&D Consulting, the city and United Cinemas are planing to revive the movie theatre here for 10 years and in 2022 Summer, the cinema complex have been there with great welcoming by citizen.
Project Duration
This project took over 10 years of planning, started in 2019 and finally be realized in 2022.
Chichibu is a famous tourist destination in the Kanto region, with a population of approximately 60,000 people, famous for its geo-sites such as Mt. Bukou, where concrete material was mined, Nagatoro Gorge, famous for its rock pavement and line rafting, and springtime lawn cherry blossoms. The movie theater was built adjacent to an existing neighborhood shopping facility.
Operation Flow
This project is cooperated with municipal office, the developper and United Cinemas to liven up the city as advertising and prompt citizens to the movie theatre.
The cinema is located where the main road from Tokyo district so we tried to make here become icon of the city.
PoteKuma-kun, the mascot character of the city, is adapted for exterior signage of the cinema that can see at image #3, a lot of advertisement, and coraborated with an advertisement movie before the show starts.
Also many news paper, radio, and local TV news picked us when the cinema opens and continues our cooperation for make citizens feel familier with movies and not to disappear a movie theatre from the city again.
