Located at the Infinity Mall, Versova; the ICON Cinemas designed by Ar. Ishvinder Kaur and Ar. Vikas Sabharwal, successfully creates a redefining statement in multiplex design. Housing grand lounges immersive in the golden aura and adorning wall sconces and indulgent auditoriums presenting a contemporary theatrical experience, this design portrays ultimate excellence in its fine blend of class with function-driven efficient planning.
The design brief for the project was to introduce a new brand of, top of the line, luxury multiplex in the heart of the film capital of India. The concept, thus evident from every aspect of the design creates an entertainment beacon featuring in glowing lights, redefined ambiance of experiencing the new world of motion pictures.
Conceptualized like a social space & directed towards the visually delightful media walls, the spotlight lounge amalgamates varied seating experiences in divergent configurations. The high ceiling above has been decorated with opulent crystal woven nest chandelier reflecting & magnifying the experience.
The design exercise began with planning the entire layout by creating a layering of functions in each space & holding them together with vantage food and beverage experience. Large chandeliers & wall sconces adorn the architecture glamorizing the entire experience.
The auditoriums are designed in a red palette, accentuated with amber LED lights & interlocking circular pattern carpet. The bold wall panels are a set of vertical planes designed with cove highlights & embedded dot led lighting. The auditoriums are embedded with latest in technology: using dolby atmos sound systems, 2k to 4k projection for best in class viewing experience.
