ALAMO DRAFT HOUSE
An iconic movie house born in Texas, Alamo Draft house combines quality cinema, hospitality and vintage experience into boutique theaters. The first Los Angeles Alamo Draft house Cinemas, designed in conjunction with Weiss Architecture, is an homage to the “exploitation” films that dominated the 60’s and 70’s.
This project installed the unique movie-going experience into a revitalized mall in Downtown LA. With a vibrant lobby bar, full restaurant kitchen and 13 state of the art screening rooms, the split-level project was a hit the moment the doors opened. BDG worked collaboratively with the Alamo organization, providing our expertise of existing building renovations, film, acoustics, and hospitality to bring the Alamo experience to life - an amazing brand that BDG was excited to join and create with.
