The Kim Sing Theatre is a dynamic private residence, event space, and retail showroom, in the burgeoning Chinatown section Downtown Los Angeles. The former vaudeville house and movie theater was built in 1926 and completely re-imagined by its owner and XTen Architects. Today, in addition to a serving as a private home it hosts exhibitions, special events, private functions such as weddings, film screenings, and corporate events, and retail establishments. Retaining original details such as bow truss ceilings and the neon theater sign, the site has been modernized into a striking and flexible live/work space with a large kitchen, serving station, and AV room. The center of the old theater has been turned into a private outdoor courtyard and features ample space for a full bar, musical entertainment, and a multitude of other corporate functions.
