Design intent called for a fluid shape of the ceiling with thick floating segments. The seams between the panels had to align perfectly from one segment to another to create a clean continous transition between the reveals. Panel edges were finished with Design Returns to visually add depth and conceal the suspension for the polished floating effect.
