Extra Time
Extra Time Cinema is an on-demand cinema and gallery located on the second basement floor of a shopping mall in Shanghai. The interior covers 800 square meters. A bar stands at the center of a semi-circular space with a radius of 9 meters, so the area can serve as a cafe, a lecture salon, a stage for dance performances and a venue for product launches. The outer wall is wrapped in folded mirrored stainless steel, and the reflections change as people walk past. Curved stainless steel grooves hold light strips and plastic sunlight panels, which glow in blue, green and rose red.
Extra Time Cinema and Gallery by Xu Studio was highlighted as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Extra Time Cinema and Gallery was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that honors superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
