Ceilings / | Multilevel ceilings |
Remember how it was. Putty, lime, latex paint, whitewash. The result is always the same: rovnenky (more or less), little white ceiling - the most familiar, quiet option.
New times have brought new technology finishing the ceiling, and with them its new solution - multi-level ceilings . The first experiments were deplorable. Often, the entire design space was reduced to complicated the circular or broken multilayered ceilings. Similar effects substitute for the development of the author's concept of interior decoration. For example, on the ceiling of one apartment could simultaneously coexist configuration reminiscent of the pyramids of Cheops, the Great Wall, the Golden Bridge in San Francisco and other miracles. Unjustified, eccentric ideas of the authors of such ceilings gone so far that you can not go back.
Today fascination multi-level ceilings plasterboard , spanned several years ago, all architects and designers, engaged in finishing apartments, thankfully, behind us. By itself, this technique can not be considered as a sign of bad taste. On the contrary, it helps solve many aesthetic and technical problem. Construction has been compromised only excessive enthusiasm with them. Today, the opposite trend prevailed: the most stylish interiors are solved without the use of levels top. And if they apply, with careful study of the figure in the plan and exact calculations of height design. Multilevel ceilings has always been a large element of public premises than private housing. Publicly accessible and distributing them made an appearance on the market tension ceilings and drywall. These " flexible " technology relatively cheap and virtually no restrictions on the configurations.
The reason for the use of several levels may be irregularities and defects of the base ceiling. Sometimes the differences are so great that otherwise they can not hide. For example, very bad state is old slabs between floors. After dismantling the old partitions found inappropriate beams and girders. Align such crumbling ceilings complicated than camouflage them.
Sometimes within apartment to hide air conditioning systems, electrical wiring, air ducts, freonoprovodov, water pipes, heating. The multilevel ceiling can be a " casing " to cover the technological elements.

The multilevel ceiling successfully solves the problem with the amount of space. In reforming the homes often need at least visually " lift " ceiling. This may seem strange, but it is well known to those skilled next reception: in the modern sense of the interior space created by the addition by urging individual sites. For example, if hallway ceiling level was lowered, and in the dining room kept the base, then when you log in from the hallway you feel that you are logged as if in the expanded space. This base level is highlighted, color or texture. At one point lowered, the other raised, as if paused.
Zoning space . In the context of modern home without significance and so the question of how the allocation of the individual zones. The special measure is important for a new type of housing, furnished by type open flowing spaces that make up a single plastic structure.
We know that instead of the previous square-cluster system with narrow corridors Designers and architects have introduced a new one. It has two main areas: public and private. They can combine the mini-zone - a place for meals, rest, work. This requires greater consistency zoning prostransvo kominaty, greater separation of each mini-zone.
Indoors, where practically no walls, functional zones began to emphasize the finished floor, walls and lighting. And, of course, the ceiling level. For example, lifting his head, we can see the oval, echoing the oval dining table in the dining area. Or a selection as something other bath, bed, winter garden, bar, even " road " from one zone to another.
As a rule, multi-level ceilings " supported " floor. This may be a podium, using different materials for floor coverage or a single material, but different colors (eg, flooring and tiles, parquet two shades).
If even for a multi-level ceiling has nothing to hide,
he is addressed as an interior decoration. Forms of such designs the diversified: classical geometry, bent, fantastic shapes, a combination of curved line and triangle swings levels relative to the base - three, four, five. It could be stucco, curtain systems, simple abstract composition. Simulation of structural elements in a classical setting - one form of multilevel slozhnosochlenennogo ceiling. It is important that this plastic something dictated. Sometimes emit levels of color or imitation of a certain texture, such as old ceramics. Fill the middle ceiling color, you will get one effect, almost obscuring - another smooth coloring gives the third. Such movement changes the plane halftones.
Speaking of multi-level ceiling, we simply can not say how much it expands light. It is in this case more than light: " draw " interior, giving it intrigue and effect. This general theme, worthy of separate discussion. Soft Light, Flood base ceiling, reflection " work " the whole interior. Spot - highlights something, located at the bottom. Low lights lowered emphasize the intimacy zone. Locate the correct sources of illumination - not a simple matter: they need to hide, but you can not bury too, otherwise light will be enough. The light should be soft, diffused, luminous circuit.
Different levels of the ceiling plane is often used when creating artistic ceiling (with a picture, moldings, various " natural " and " atmospheric " effect). However, this is a separate topic of conversation.
The interior nothing is random, and one follows from another. As it is impossible to tear page from the book, so it is impossible to snatch out of context a house some zone. That is why, working with multi-level ceilings, the designers do not work in a particular area. Treat you and your ceiling as inseparable part of their living space, combined with furniture, walls, floor.
