Escape by Sathyam Cinemas – the city’s first luxury multiplex
August 26, 2010 By The Editor KITES A design concept conceived and interpreted by Rajesh Pratap Singh, one of India‟s leading fashion designers. Renowned for his use of intricate colours and patterns in many of his garments designs, RPS has adapted these elements into a thematic design called “Battle of the Kites”. The space is made up of more than 1800 kites and is sure to impress the most discerning fashionista. This cinema has been interpreted by renowned Chennai based designer Vikram Phadke.
DESIGN The space has been used aesthetically so that each area is special. The lobbies and washrooms are resplendent with Botticino marble, granite, Italian tiles and wooden floors coming together to pattern the floor. Back lit Italina onyx stone is used extensively in lobby columns and architraves and a fusion of tiles make the floors in the seating area of the cinema; with wood finishing on the aisles, lounges and steps. The facade is covered with bronze tinted glass and the lobby has sheer
chocolate brown curtains with back-lit curtains adding to the luster. No space lies unutilised in this design as even the Food & Beverage counters; made entirely of onyx and washrooms have been tucked below the raking slabs. TECHNOLOGY
