Phoenix Cinema, Finchley
Project information
At the Grade II listed Phoenix Cinema in Finchley, Durkan are renovating the auditorium, constructed in 1910. This will include the complete restoration of the original Edwardian barrel ceiling and repairs to the striking art deco plaster wall panels.
In addition to restoration improvements Durkan will convert the current office space and extend the mezzanine floor above the foyer into a substantial public café and bar area. At the front of the building Durkan will be constructing a striking terrace which includes a canopy and glass balustrade, enabling visitors to enjoy the outside space, overlooking the high street.
Durkan will be repairing the exterior roof and adding new render to help insulate the building as well as adding new 30’s-style neon lighting and a large readograph board.
