MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - August 13, 2013) - Seeyond™ Architectural Solutions recently installed the third in a series of new ceiling clouds -- a recessed cloud in the Minneapolis offices of a global commercial real-estate company. The real estate firm needed a contemporary look for their new employee café space. They turned to bdh + young interiors | architecture, an architecture and design firm that specializes in creative yet functional aesthetics. "The Seeyond solution gave us the dramatic visual interest we wanted, as well as the opportunity to completely customize the ceiling above the café," said Anton Newman, Project Designer, CID, LEED AP ID+C. "The ceiling cloud is an organic shape within a modern space. The cloud's programmable lighting creates a flexible look that can feature bold playful color or cool white sophistication. We couldn't be happier with the result and our client is thrilled with it."
Seeyond Ceiling Cloud Advantages
Seeyond ceiling installations offer a number of distinct advantages to alternative approaches for ceiling treatments: 1. The cellular resin material used in Seeyond clouds has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio with a one-pound-per-square-foot weight. 2. The Seeyond cloud solution can accommodate any existing substrates and infrastructure, including installed life-safety equipment. 3. The tessellated nature of the Seeyond cloud features allows for easy removal of any of the modules for instant maintenance access to what lies above. 4. Every Seeyond installation features hidden hardware thereby delivering a clean and elegant tessellated aesthetic. 5. Every Seeyond specialty feature is created with the opportunity for infinite customization and complete flexibility throughout the design process.
Further, the Seeyond solution proves to be an ideal approach for efficiently creating organic shape and complex form. Ceilings in particular are generating significant interest and gaining sales traction, likely due to both their dramatic aesthetic and their efficient functionality. "The many distinct advantages of a Seeyond ceiling cloud create a compelling case," said Kirby Rea, general manager at Seeyond. "Because no additional infrastructure is required for installation (every Seeyond feature is self-structuring), our cloud solution is incredibly appealing to architects and designers. It's an easy way through a what is often a complex situation -- a situation that involves working around existing structures and critical equipment."
