Tivoli’s colour palette is earthy and warm, including rich golds, green, ochre and dusky blue tones, in linens, velvets and deep- textured weaves
cocktail bar was considered – nodding again to the city of Bath – but the prospect of future venues and the nature of the material made it, in Burles’ words, “a tricky concept to future-proof.” Tivoli’s colour palette is earthy and
warm, including rich golds, green, ochre and dusky blue tones, in linens, velvets and deep-textured weaves. In terms of materials choices, chalky and marbled stones offer tactile finishes and are paired with a strong mix of patinated metals including bronze, brass and blackened steel. “We wanted to create a journey with the interior design, materials and finishes, and the lighting,” explains Burles.
Lighting the mood “We worked really hard on the lighting as that can not only elevate the design but also seriously enhance the user experience – getting customers in the mood and encouraging ‘dwell time’ within the space,” comments Burles. “Lighting also ties in key spaces that otherwise are quite far apart and could feel quite disconnected from each other.”
The lighting scheme is a mix of off-the- shelf luminaires and fully bespoke, Run For The Hills-designed larger key pieces, all intended to balance each other both stylistically and in terms of materials. Burles explains: “We’ve mixed metals over modern chandeliers, nodded to the natural world with leaf and petal designs, and contrasted these with urban black steel and tube lamps

to create pockets of space that balance old and new design ideas.” Run For The Hills worked closely with architectural lighting consultant Elektra Lighting to create ‘fluid’ lighting throughout the cinema’s spaces. This included ensuring the correct lux levels via specifying the correct numbers of lamps, and rationalising the placement of ambient background lighting.
Elektra Lighting also developed technical lighting details for the many bespoke joinery pieces Run For the Hills designed, including a faceted, crittall-style bulkhead at the entrance to the screening rooms, and the custom mesh and metal staircase. A significant part of their role was to marry the ‘colour temperature’ across wall and ceiling pendants and also across the kitchen lighting and back of house, specifying the bulbs and fixtures to complement other decorative fittings. Important in the cinema experience, this also served to prevent any sudden bursts of white light when any back-of-house doors or hatches are opened. Since Tivoli is an all-day venue, one of the challenges for the designers was the appropriate treatment of light throughout the project, given fluctuations in daylight levels across the cinema’s opening times. In the day, oversized Georgian lattice windows cast streams of sunlight and long shadows onto the herringbone-patterned oak floor. After sunset, atmospheric lighting adds to the buzz around the bar area while soft pools of light serve to
