About United Cinemas Fukuoka Momochi 시네마 콤플렉스

유나이티드 시네마 후쿠오카 모모치는 일본 후쿠오카의 쇼핑센터 내에 자리한 복합 영화관이다. 실내 면적은 5,057.99제곱미터이며, 1,674석 규모의 열한 개 상영관을 갖추고 있다. 높은 층고의 로비에는 햇빛을 재현한 톱 라이팅이 설치되어 특수 플라스터로 마감한 벽면 위로 부드럽게 빛이 내려앉는다. 진입 동선의 낮은 천장은 사이니지를 배제한 넓고 개방적인 홀과 대비를 이룬다. 영화관에서 흔히 쓰이는 화려한 스타일 대신 차분하고 정제된 소재를 사용했다. 이 인테리어는 영화 관람을 고요하고 특별한 경험으로 만드는 것을 지향한다.

Unique Properties
High ceiling like a cathedral pours light on the lobby, and huge volume of space makes us feel silence and solemn.
The designers tried dispel the old-type-image of Japanese movie theatre by adapting materials that usually not used in theatre, lighting works, and space volume.
Unlike the other countries like United States or Korea, watching movie is not very familiar with Japanese yet. “Make a experience of small special event of watching movie superior.” The designers designed the space hotel liked to feel calm and luxual.

Production Technology
Having the good relationship with the shopping mall which contains City Library was the beginning of this project. People who visit the building are highly sensitive and full of intellectual curiosity. Considering the movies as intellectual content, cinemas can be place satisfies such people as libraries or Museums, not just a place watching movies. Such place must be cozy and comfortable for adults but not like uplifting and exciting that was usual interior design for cinemas.
Design Challenge
We planned to gently shine the walls of a special plastering finish with the architecture of a large ceiling space and the top light of artificial light imitating natural light.
Research
We controlled the surprises and emotions that is made by the gap between the low ceiling of the approach and the large space not messed by information, such as publicity or signage. We revised over and over to control the gaze.
Also, we have made the arrangement of top-light with sunshine overflow by artificial light. To make it natural, big number of powerful instruments with subtle angle of enlighting was demanded because we had to put them on beside inside the cealing.
Inspiration
Sophisticated, classy, and magnificence are the concept of this project.
Fukuoka pref., this cinema located, is one of the large metropolitan city in Japan and people living or visiting here are highly sophisticated. We United Cinemas, making the cinema complex adapts design snuggle the town located, tried make it loved by such people high sense. Also, “the sky” is the concept of 4th floor so the designers tried the guests feel outer space.
Project Duration
The project started in 2016 and finished in 2019 in Fukuoka, JAPAN.
Fukuoka prefecture has a population of 1.5 million people. This cinemacomplex is located in the shopping center of an exclusive residential area close to the coast of this town. The baseball dome capacity of 38,500 people and 2 tower apartments are going to adjacent to the shopping center.
Operation Flow
"Make Lifestyle Better" is the concept of the mall merchandising so it was completely over-rap of ours. Also "Yahuoku! Dome", the baseball stadium, locates next to the mall so this area gives not only one but complex entertainment for people.
