In an open plan home, visually defining ‘rooms’ has become important. Creating a sense of place in a large open span, the custom ceiling detail defines the seating area in this home. A crisp grid with stepped sides rises to deep coffers, soaring to 11 feet. The lower surrounding ceilings ,at 9 feet ,conceal duct work and wiring. This attention to detail adds a layer of drama. The cool serene color palette is enlivened by a carpet in vibrant tones that repeat the colors of the artwork.
