Ceiling Design Details

There is nothing like entering a room where the ceiling design and detailing draws you in. From the Pantheon dome to the frescos of the Sistine Chapel, ceilings have been known to capture and hold our attention through the centuries.   Creating impact through overhead design continues to intrigue and inspire todays architects and designers.

The ceiling is often referred to as the 5th wall, and we believe it draws even more attention than the floor.  Modern homes often rely on conventional drywall for efficiency.  But when building a custom home, there are endless possibilities.  We like the idea of including specialized shapes and millwork to add architectural interest and dimension.  This is one of the elements that takes your home to the next level.

Here are some of our favorite treatments!
