MORE ABOUT THE CEILING:
The entrance foyer was redesigned as a colourful threshold between spaces. With its bold green tones, built-in lockers, and a sculptural star-shaped light fixture overhead, this transition area feels both refreshing and inviting.
The warm grey flooring matches the adjoining rooms, creating a continuous flow between the spaces.

MORE ABOUT THE CEILING:
As part of a broader renovation of an existing school building, several spaces were rethought to better align with how students study, meet, and move. This corridor is one of them.
It’s no longer just a passage, but a flexible learning zone with foldable high tables and integrated planters. Suspended acoustic panels provide visual rhythm while concealing lighting and technical systems.
A thoughtful transformation that invites students to use space differently—where circulation becomes collaboration.

ALL ABOUT THE CEILING:
Bright future
Acoustics and spatial clarity were key while designing the auditorium of the school.
A green spray plaster ceiling forms the backdrop for dozens of circular sound-absorbing elements, suspended in a graphic, three-dimensional grid. Grouped adjustable lighting fixtures, reminiscent of desk lamps, contribute to the playful and unexpected ceiling composition.
Colour is present throughout the space, but always in a nuanced, non-dominant way – enhancing the calmness and focus needed for lectures.

ALL ABOUT THE CEILING:
Too cool for school
The bar area of the school building introduces a different mood: darker tones, indirect lighting, and space for informal use.
A blue acoustic spray plaster on the ceiling hides technical systems. Below sits a suspended grid with metal mesh infill panels. They subtly reflect and transform the blue ceiling, depending on your position in the space.
This extra layer acts as a filter to soften the bold blue ceiling and adds depth to the interior.
By incorporating elements like a pool table and foosball, the space encourages social interaction and offers students a place to disconnect between classes. Function and atmosphere go hand in hand here.

ALL ABOUT THE CEILING:
Back to school!
This renovation project transforms a 30-year-old school interior into a more contemporary and engaging environment for students and staff.
Colour plays a central role: each refurbished space is defined by a single colour accent applied to the ceiling. This simple gesture strengthens spatial identity and brings softness to an otherwise technical environment.
In the canteen, a muted pink ceiling paired with custom wooden furniture creates a warm, domestic atmosphere.
More than just a place to eat, this space becomes a social hub within the school.
