这间位于南京的戏院，座落于不少历史建筑物旁，但除了古旧的建筑，还有富现代感的新式楼宇，新旧交集。设计师在设计这家电影院时，亦受这新旧交融环境因素所影响，以富中式感觉的红色为主色，让访客联想起中国传统色彩，但另一方面，却加入了新颖的设计元素。

This cinema is located in Nanjing, next to a lot of historical buildings. In addition to the old buildings, there are also chic and modern architectures in the neighborhood, perfectly illustrating the East meets West vibe. Inspired by its surroundings, the designers combined traditional and modern elements when designing the cinema. The main color theme of the cinema, red, is a color traditionally used in old Chinese buildings and decorations, immediately reminding visitors of the Chinese culture in this district. The designers have also added contemporary design elements to the cinema, which are very unconventional.

主题方面，他们则以声音作出发点，声音，包括演员对话、后期声效、现场收音以至配乐等，都是建构一部电影的重要元素。而声音的传播形式就是声波，声音肉眼看不到，但声波是一种机械波，由物体振动产生，形态多变，基本上每一个声音，都有其独特的声波，鲜有重复。在电影院内，访客可以看到多种声波透过起伏不一的红色管道形态，立体地呈现于眼前。

声波本身是极抽象的形态，既弯曲、又高高低低，设计师利用红色管道来塑造这些自由的弯曲形态，贯彻整个影院空间。它们丰富了整个空间，令访客仿如亲眼见到「声音」立体地呈现于眼前；除了作为装置艺术，它们还有实际用途，不同的弯曲向四处伸展，但却发展成不同的实用设计，例如在走廊位置的墙身，弯曲的声波图案从天花向地板伸长，再射向天花，到后期却变成一条直线，既代表万籁无声，又是座位供访客稍作休息，静心欣赏周围的布置。这些「声波」由金属管所制，后来再于管面喷上红色油漆。

黑色的酒吧位置同样贯彻声波的弯曲形态，前面以黑白色云石为主，仍然用上红色声波形态，但则以黑色为主。各个影厅的墙身以吸音板堆砌出声波的立体图案，颜色以不同深浅度的红色以及灰色为主，与影厅大堂红色管道的声波艺术装置相互呼应。

由于影院的玻璃门为红色，当黄昏时分，阳光从影院外晒进大堂时，整个地方亦显得一片通红，但实际上并非如此，大堂的墙身及天花乃灰色混凝土瓦面，更富原始质感，与红色弯曲声波设置形成强烈对比。

For the theme of this cinema, the designers pinpointed the importance of sound in producing a movie. Sound plays a crucial role in movies, from the characters’ dialogues, sound effects, onset recordings to music scores; all these are important elements constituting a movie. The concept of sound is portrayed in the form of sound waves. Every sound has its own unique sound wave, which is rarely repetitive. Throughout the whole perimeter, three-dimensional red metal tubes are arranged to go up and down, representing a variety of sounds found in movies.

Sonic is in itself a very abstract form, both bent and jagged. The designers used these red metal tubes to demonstrate the curved shapes of sound waves, filling the entire cinema space. These tubes enrich the interior of the cinema, visitors would feel as if they could see the “sound” with their eyes. Other than serving as an installation art, the tubes themselves are also functional. The wavy metal tubes curve and stretch themselves along the wall, they extends towards the ceiling the floor. In some parts of the “sound wave”, the tubes turn into a horizontal straight line, representing the stillness of sound, and at the same time provide seats for visitors to take a break and enjoy the breathtaking installation around them. These red tubes are made of metal, with red paints sprayed on its surface. The walls and ceilings have raw grey concrete surface, which builds a strong contrast between the color and texture with the red metal tubes.

The black bar counter has adopted the same curvy characteristic of sound waves. The front area of the counter is made of black and white marble, it is surrounded by a black tube, which resembles the red sound wave decorations in the cinema. In the auditoriums, sound absorbing acoustic panels are piled up to create three-dimensional sound wave patterns on the wall. Made up of different shades of red and grey, these panels again resonate with the red tube waveform design in the lobby.

The glass door of the cinema is red in color. When dusk falls, natural sunlight will pass through the door and shine in the lobby, coloring the whole space in red. The glass door and natural sunlight together create various atmospheres during different times of the day.
