DESCRIPTION

The Majestic cinema project in Héricourt proposes the creation of a landmark cultural facility, ideally located near major transport routes and the town center, ensuring optimal accessibility for the entire region. Set back from the road and integrated into the natural topography of the site, the building blends seamlessly into its surroundings while asserting a legible, recognizable presence from public spaces.

The architecture develops an understated, warm aesthetic, combining light mineral render, wooden elements, and vegetated facades to achieve thoughtful landscape integration. The project is accompanied by extensive landscaping of the exterior spaces: a planted forecourt, permeable tree-lined parking, landscaped swales, and over 100 planted trees, creating a high-quality, welcoming setting for visitors while ensuring sustainable stormwater and microclimate management.

With its 5 screening rooms totaling 806 seats (930 seats listed in the project brief), the cinema offers diverse programming and a high-quality viewer experience. The interior spaces are designed for comfort and smooth visitor flow: a bright lobby opening onto the landscape, clear circulation paths, and auditoriums with optimized acoustic and visual performance, guaranteeing immersion, comfort, and projection quality.

Committed to an ambitious environmental approach, the project prioritizes bio-based materials, a timber structure, photovoltaic energy production, and passive climate-control systems. It thus offers a contemporary, sustainable cultural facility accessible to all, actively contributing to the vitality and attractiveness of the Héricourt area.
