Mirror Ceiling: Duplicating the Floor

A mirrored ceiling. The entire ceiling is polished stainless steel or a mirror panel, completely reflecting the space below: furniture, light fixtures, and people all appear above, inverted. Because the ceiling has slight undulations, the reflected image is softly distorted. The height of the space thus appears to be twice its actual height. Avoid: using a perfectly flat glass mirror to create a clear duplicate, allowing the ceiling reflection to show cluttered equipment, installing recessed lights and air vents on the mirrored ceiling, using a mirrored ceiling in a space with insufficient height.

一面鏡面的天花。整片天花是拋光的不鏽鋼或鏡面板,把下方的空間完整地反射進去:家具、燈具與人都在上方出現一次,方向相反。因為天花有輕微的起伏,反射的影像是柔和扭曲的。空間的高度因此看起來是實際的兩倍。避免:使用完全平整的玻璃鏡產生清晰複製、讓天花的反射看到雜亂的設備、在鏡面天花上安裝嵌燈與出風口、把鏡面天花用在挑高不足的空間。
