Regal Theater, Suva
The Regal Theater is an iconic structure that housed the original Regal cinema from the 1960s to the 1990s. The Theater building boasts an architectural style that seamlessly combines elements of art-deco and modernist design, echoing the trends popular in the US and Australia in the early 20th century.
The architecture of the Regal Theater is a visual delight, featuring vertical, zigzagged elements and rounded geometric art-deco features that define its exterior. The symmetrical front-facing facade is characterized by two bays, flanked by minimal elements, with the main decorative and centralized bay taking center stage. The balconies extending above the veranda at street level add to the building's distinctive charm.
While the Regal Theater was originally a cinematic hub, today the Regal Building has evolved to house modern retail spaces spanning two levels, complete with internal escalators.
