Forum Melbourne
With its Moorish minarets and iconic copper-domed clock tower, the heritage-listed Forum Melbourne is a longstanding Melbourne landmark.
Formerly the State Theatre, the Forum first opened in 1929 as a cinema, with the largest seating capacity of any theatre in Australia. Since then it has been divided into two separate venues. Downstairs, Forum I is famous for its large stage and signature cabaret-style booths. Upstairs, Forum II is a smaller venue with tiered seating, small stage, surround sound and cinema size screen.
In the 2017 Restoration Project, Prestigious Painting and Decorating Services was proudly part of the team (Mulholland Restoration and Decorating) selected to take back the theatre to its glamourous 1928 construction form.
Our Scope of Work in Forum I required replicating the pre-existing surrounding Textured Wall Finishes and colours, including formulating custom-made glazes; repainting the heritage wall moulding, that was retained and relocated by the expertise of Vision Ornate Plaster; and repainting of the ornamental ceiling, original plaster beams, vents and cornices.
