Explore This Dark and Moody Cinema in Wuhan, China
2023 Best of Year Winner for Entertainment
Taking cues from an aerial view of a cityscape, One Plus Partnership designed a 90,000-square-foot cinema as a dark, marble-clad metropolis in Wuhan, China. Orthogonal stone forms in mottled hues—from ruddy brown to deepest gray—function as seating areas, space dividers, and ticket counters in the lobby of the Wushang Dream Mall International Cinema. For the ceiling, the design team replicated the natural stone pattern onto lightweight metal panels, extending the variegated, textural palette skyward. The same technique is applied to the project’s upholstered auditorium seating. Finally, concealed LEDs cast directional light and shadows for an immersive noir-meets-brutalist experience.
