Scope: Stretch Ceiling – Beige Lacquer The challenge that faced the designer working on this project was that the client wanted ceiling lighting but didn’t want to lower the 8’-6” concrete ceiling. By using HTC stretch ceiling system the interior designer was able to install multiple recessed lights to the existing ceiling, which we then covered with an HTC-Lacquer finish. Because we had to install the stretch ceiling on a perimeter frame lower than the existing ceiling, a cove was created all around the room which was used as a drapery pocket and to wash the walls with a soft light at night creating a warm atmosphere. The ceiling was lowered by 5” but the reflection of the stretch ceiling gave the illusion of a 13’ ceiling with a beige color blending beautifully with the décor.
