Classical Architect coffered Ceiling Design Perspective
Coffered ceilings have been a mark of architectural sophistication for millennia - from ancient Roman temples through Renaissance palaces to contemporary executive offices. The coffered ceiling uses a grid of beams to create recessed panels, adding depth and rhythm to what would otherwise be a flat ceiling. Our traditional coffered ceiling beam system makes this classical architectural element accessible for residential applications. Here's how coffered ceilings work and what to consider when specifying them.

Coffered Structure
A coffered ceiling consists of intersecting beams that form a grid, with the spaces between beams (the coffers) recessed below the ceiling plane. The beams run in two directions - main beams and cross beams - creating the structural grid. The depth of the coffers (how far below the structural ceiling they sit) affects the visual impact - deeper coffers are more dramatic, shallower coffers are more subtle.
