THE ODYSSEY : AN ART DECO CINEMA
This Art Deco cinema is a real experience to visit. Since their opening 10 yrs ago ,when funds had been already stretched, the toilet areas had not had a considered decorating scheme .
Fixtures & fittings could not be changed, so this was very much a 'makeover' and decorating brief. Wallpaper was our best friend here - this is the perfect way to add drama and interest on a budget.
We also added panelling and Art Deco detailing where we could. Mindful of the heavy footfall and being a commercial space, there were limitations to the products we could use.
Having grown up in St. Albans and visited the original cinema as a teenager this was a
meaningful project for Clair to be a part of.
There are 7 areas in total. The foyer is unisex with 4 individual spaces within it, an opportunity to really
play with the colour schemes. The lower ground floor spaces have a gold & black theme.
(Accessories incoming - more images to follow when we are finished......).
