Shanghai Normal University Black Box Theater

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum frequently needs to reconfigure its space between academic seminars, daily educational tours, and prestigious brand wine receptions. The ALTULA retractable movable bleacher system precisely folds away electrically within five minutes, transforming the grand stepped lecture hall back into a flat, bright seaside banquet hall, thereby doubling both the museum’s collection value and spatial revenue.

After more than ten rounds of face-to-face meetings with the building’s on-site engineering team, ALTULA structural designers addressed the inherent challenges of sound absorption and echo prevention in large acoustic lecture halls by elevating the guide-axis positioning limit to an industry-leading zero-backlash red-dot standard. This not only seamlessly integrated the entire set of folding seats into a minimalist Nordic style but also streamlined the routine reconfiguration workflow down to a simple central control operation taking just ten minutes, earning high praise and trust from the client’s project team.
