Design Confidence worked closely with the developers and architects, providing ongoing guidance and support to ensure the integration of safety measures seamlessly within the cinema's striking design.
Design Confidence's expert engineering and advisory services played a pivotal role in the success of the Novo Cinema project, an innovative and high-profile cinema complex located in the heart of the UAE. As one of the leading cinema chains in the region, Novo Cinema aimed to create an immersive and high-tech experience for its customers, combining entertainment with cutting-edge architectural design.
Design Confidence was brought on board to provide specialist fire and life safety engineering consultancy, ensuring that all safety systems adhered to the highest international standards and best practices. The team carried out a thorough review of the cinema's fire safety design, including fire detection, suppression systems, and evacuation strategies, guaranteeing that the safety of cinema-goers would never be compromised.
In addition, the advisory services extended to thermal comfort modelling and pedestrian comfort analysis, ensuring that the indoor environment of the cinema provided a pleasant and safe experience for all patrons. Design Confidence's collaboration was essential in delivering a project that met the highest standards of both safety and comfort, ultimately contributing to Novo Cinema’s reputation as a top-tier entertainment destination in the UAE.
