Pathé Leeuwarden
Leeuwarden, Netherlands
Boxoffice Blue Ribbon 2021 | New Build
Pathé Leeuwarden opened in 2021 in the heart of Leeuwarden’s city center and immediately became a landmark in the Dutch province of Friesland. The building features a striking façade designed by WAM Architects (Wilfried van Winden). The prefabricated front and side façades are softly curved and consist of 132 large elements with brick slips bonded to a supporting structure. These elements were mounted onto a steel suspension system, forming a unified and visually dynamic architectural statement.
Pathé Leeuwarden is also one of the two most sustainable cinemas within Pathé Netherlands (alongside Pathé Ypenburg). The cinema was built to the latest sustainability and energy standards and features highly energy-efficient climate and lighting systems, including air- and water-based heat pumps, partial reuse of materials from previously demolished sections of the building, and 365 solar panels on the roof.
Pathé Leeuwarden features 7 auditoriums with a total of 634 fully reclining seats. All auditoriums are equipped with the latest Barco laser projection technology (4K RGB), new screens and sound speakers (7.1. audio). The main auditorium is equipped with Dolby Atmos, providing a premium, immersive cinema experience – setting a benchmark for a top-tier cinema picture and sound experience in the region.
