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.
