Ceiling wood panels: direction defines space

A mid-century modern ceiling made of wooden panels. Dark teak or mahogany tongue-and-groove boards are arranged in parallel with equal width, aligned with the long axis of the space or perpendicular to the beams; there is a narrow recessed groove between the boards. The wooden panels extend continuously from the interior to the exterior eaves, without interruption. The ceiling color is darker than the walls, making the space feel warm and low-slung. Avoid: using a white flat ceiling, changing the direction of the wooden panels in different areas, installing recessed lights on the wooden panel ceiling, using different ceiling materials for indoor and outdoor areas.

一片木板拼成的世紀中現代天花。深色的柚木或紅木企口板以等寬平行排列,方向與空間的長軸一致或垂直於樑;板與板之間有一道細窄的凹縫。木板從室內連續延伸到室外的屋簷底面,不中斷。天花的顏色比牆深,把空間壓得溫暖而低伏。避免:使用白色的平釘天花、讓木板的方向在不同區域改變、在木板天花上安裝嵌燈、把室內外的天花材質做不同。
