The entrance of the film house is housed in the neighboring former carpentry workshop. There was previously a lane between the carpentry and the central building which was later built. This padding can be clearly realized by the fact that the old side wall of the center is still visible. This later-filled zone forms the entrance hall of the movie house, from which you get through a new passage and a lazy staircase in the middle of the film house.
Outside the entrance is a public passage made on the ground floor of the carpentry shop, which connects the courtyard to the Bassin via a large staircase. Above this passage lies the office of Lumière, and on the Cour side, where the large height difference joins the ground floor, there is an additional multifunctional space.
The carpentry is one of the earliest and slimmest examples of a 'Hennebique construction'. This construction principle implies that beams, floors and columns were all poured at once, which allowed very slender constructions to be made. The construction of this building has been strengthened especially under the floor, but the slimmest columns on the floor are also visible in the Courgevel after the re-destination.
The large hall of the complex is constructed below the Cour's level using the large height difference between the Cour and the basin at the front of the central. This allows the desired future link with the adjacent Sappi terrain to be built directly behind the complex, leaving room for future developments surrounding the entire Cour.
The complex's extensive and refurbished complex was filled with abandoned technical spaces, some of which have been sealed for years. By combining the basement, which fits into a complex as a machine, it has been possible to give all these spaces a new function, most of which are now publicly accessible. Even the restrooms of the film house are now worth the effort. For example, there were toilets made under the heavily moored vaults of a former railroad raft next to the central station, about which the coal was supplied to the boilers. The toilet next to the restaurant is located in a light high room with beautiful light from above and classic green tiles in which the unit with the toilets and washbasins is now placed in the room. The restrooms at the cinema are located in the former alley between the buildings. The former exterior facade has been visible here, which made the history of the complex visible to the attentive visitor.
Since the complex consists of very different premises with each other a different condition and status, each building is otherwise tackled in a technical sense. In order to be able to repair the heavily dilapidated boiler houses in a sound and durable way, it has been removed in very poor condition and the steel structure as a whole is conserved. The walls are then re-mattened and insulated, resulting in a much more comfortable and durable whole. By choosing for this approach, the entire complex could be maintained, including the slender steel structures. At the same time, this approach made it possible to put under the existing premises a basement for the movie rooms, leaving space in the halls to experience the halls as a whole. The state-of-the-art machine hall has been restored and restored as well as possible. In the base there was chosen to keep up with improvements wherever possible without changing the appearance of the monument.
The whole is a beautiful complex in which the Sphinx industrial heritage is combined with state-of-the-art cinemas and an extensive hospitable hospitality in a great ambiance: a unique film house in a unique place!
The new movie house Lumiere Cinema was opened in October 2016.
