Emperor Multiplex
Studio X were appointed by Emperor Group to pitch a food court and cinema scheme to Shin Kong, the developer of a new build shopping mall in Chengdu.
The project consisted of a large hall in which we created an open plan food court with casual eateries and common seating areas, along with a 12 house cinema complex, including a 4D cinema, and a VIP house comprised of VIP lounge chairs and also 2 private ‘living room’ cinema boxes as well as an exclusive, private food and drink service.
The main ticket hall comprised of a café, a restaurant, automatic ticketing, retail, and a VR experience zone.

Project Stages:
- Concept Design
- Schematic Design
We turned what could have simply become a generic cinema booking hall, into a dining destination to support not just the multiplex but also the wider shopping mall.
We proposed a series of modular tenancies than could sit under food-themed canopies to allow different types of cuisine to be housed under each.
Our main objective is to improve the performance of our clients businesses by creating exciting, emotive spaces that have high utility and this project epitomises this approach.
