 Develop and optimize floor plans for Audi’s (screen rooms), lobby areas, ticketing, concessions,

restrooms, service corridors, mechanical rooms, and back-of-house areas to maximize throughput,

comfort, and revenue opportunities.

 Collaborate with cinema operators to translate business needs into functional, flexible, and scalable

spaces (e.g., modular seating, egress routes, accessibility compliance).

 Ensure compliance with local building codes, fire safety standards, accessibility regulations (e.g.,

ADA/EN), acoustic requirements, HVAC constraints, and other statutory requirements.

 Integrate cinema technology systems (projection rooms, sound systems, lighting, LED walls, digital

signage, control rooms) into the architectural design with minimal clash and optimal serviceability.

 Develop detailed drawn plans, 3D models, renderings, and specifications for tender, procurement,

and construction.

 Oversee coordination with MEP engineers, structural engineers, AV integrators, cinema equipment

suppliers, and general contractors (GCs) to ensure timely, budget-conscious delivery.

 Perform feasibility studies, massing studies, and site analyses for potential locations, including

parking, access, and crowd management considerations.

 Review and approve shop drawings, material selections, finishes, and FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and

equipment) related to cinema interiors.

 Manage design budgets, timelines, and risk assessments; provide regular progress reports to

stakeholders.

 Create and maintain design standards and libraries for multiplex cinema branding, wayfinding,

signage, and interior detailing.

 Support post-occupancy evaluation to ensure spaces perform as intended and plan any necessary

modifications.

Qualifications:

cinema environments.

 Proficiency in design software (AutoCAD, Revit/BIM, SketchUp, 3ds Max, Adobe Creative Suite) and

3D rendering.

 Experience with AV/IT integration, projection rooms, surround sound systems, and lighting control.

 Strong visualization, presentation, and storytelling abilities to convey design concepts to stakeholders.
