Design ideas for ceilings

Cube-shaped rail in a hotel interior is much more than it seems

The interior of this hotel will impress everyone with its scope from the first sight. Huge areas and high ceilings create a feeling of spaciousness and magnificence. This proven approach is often used in the design of such types of spaces. However, the combination of the cube-shaped rail and original design solutions helped to create  a truly unique and memorable interior. So what's the secret?

In fact, we will take a closer look at two separate spaces: the hotel lobby and the restaurant.The transition between them is so smooth that you don't even notice it. Despite the common style, each of these locations retains its own unique individuality. Let's take a closer look at what ideas were used in creating these spaces.

Cube-shaped rail in a hotel lobby: the static becomes dynamic

The hotel lobby gives the impression of a monumental structure. If it wasn't for the original solution of using a cube-shaped rail, the interior would look completely static. This stateliness is great for monuments or religious buildings, but for a modern building it would be unimpressive. The designers understood it very well and that’s why they decided to add dynamics to the interior. The cube-shaped rail used on the ceiling and walls transformed a static space into a lively and dynamic place, creating a sense of movement and newness.
This effect is achieved by creating certain images that evoke the desired associations. In this case, the pattern on the suspended ceiling resembles waves, a symbol of dynamics and movement. Technically, this pattern is realized by arranging short laths in a chequered pattern, which creates a wavy pattern in one plane.

An original solution is the use of rails of different heights. First, the pattern on the ceiling gains extra volume, which makes it more expressive. Second, this solution in combination with the KRAFT Led lighting system creates an impressive visual effect. Luminaires are mounted on lower rails and  illuminate the higher rails. Horizontal luminous flux creates an effect of color-shifting ceiling.
Designers did not limit themselves to suspended ceilings alone. A similar solution with cube-shaped rail was also used on the walls in the elevator area. The rail inserts imitate an elevator shaft, and a volumetric pattern similar to patterns on the ceiling create the illusion of movement.

Suspended ceiling in the restaurant: decorative design and emphasis placement

The ceiling in the restaurant has a combined construction. The central part is covered by a suspended ceiling made of cube-shaped rail, while the rest of the room has a traditional smooth surface. The cube-shaped rail suspended ceiling also contains wave-like motifs similar to the patterns which are used in the hotel lobby, but with some differences. Rails of different heights (from 35 to 105 mm) make the ceiling in the restaurant look more voluminous in comparison to the hotel lobby. Since the ceiling height in the restaurant is standard, every detail is perfectly visible.
Despite the use of different heights of the rail, the ceiling looks like a unified whole. It resembles the design of the ceiling in the hotel lobby, creating a harmonious visual unity between the different areas of the hotel.

The emphasis on the center section of the rail suspended ceiling of the restaurant is not done by accident. Designers choose the most dynamic variant of the ceiling for the area where the tables are located for guests who are not going to stay for a long time in the restaurant. This design attracts attention and creates a lively atmosphere, which is perfect for a quick-service area.

Why is the KRAFT cube-shaped rail suspended ceiling the perfect option for hotels?

In addition to the obvious advantages of cube-shaped rail (for example, the opportunity to incorporate the cube-shaped rail into any interior design), we should mention high performance properties of the cube-shaped rail suspended ceiling. Metal rail suspended ceilings meet all the necessary requirements for public spaces, making them ideal for use in hotels.
This type of ceiling is eco-friendly, complies with fire safety standards, does not interfere with ventilation and fire-fighting systems and provides easy access to communications behind the ceiling. 
You can choose any color of the ceiling for your room or order a rail suspended ceiling with wood texture. A metal ceiling is more practical than a wooden ceiling and externally they will look almost identical.

Thanks to these advantages, the KRAFT cube-shaped rail suspended ceiling is the best choice for public areas of hotels because it combines aesthetic appeal and functionality.
