If you would like to create a simple and plain impression, wood can be arranged parallel like parquet installation; but if you prefer a modern look, you can arrange them more dynamically by modifying the flow, hierarchy, and dimension.

Being in an enclosed space with a view of the sky could be quite an experience. Install a skylight on a minimalist flat ceiling and it will totally change the atmosphere. To avoid the glaring sun light, add a shading device and choose glazing that blocks the solar heat.

One characteristic of an industrial style is its ceiling that leaves the usually hidden pipes and wires uncovered. This kind of exposed ceiling is commonly used in public and semi-public buildings like restaurants, galleries and offices. As the ceiling is exposed, pipes and power cables should be arranged properly. If necessary, cover them with nets so they won’t get dirty easily. The application of this ceiling model is usually dominated by black and white.
