With the coming of new and modern multiplex cinema theatres, the old Zagreb cinemas in urban blocs of the city centre have gradually started to die out, and the buildings have started to deteriorate. Noticing this, the City of Zagreb has launched a process of converting these areas for alternative cultural purposes. The ex-Apolo Cinema is a typical back-building in a Zagreb Lower Town bloc, with a public court in front of it, providing for a number of great opportunities, but unfortunately neglected, as are most of the Lower Town blocs. 

Despite its age (it was built in 1890), the building has had good predispositions to be converted into a public space. A new theatre has been formed within the existing premises of the former cinema, and the building has kept its original ground plan and size. The project removes the subsequent paraphernalia from the old structure and enhances its qualities, by introducing a new theatre with 220 seats, into the existing shell. 

The project is not restricted to the structure-architectural domain but also creates a complete visual identity, from theatre setting of individual spaces, the entrance panel, the entrance lobby, the coffee bar, to the theatre hall itself.
