Lately, I've had these ceiling on the brain. They're called "groin vaulted ceilings"(try working that term in at a dinner party!), and the term relates to the intersection of two barrel vaults.
Not sure why I've been noticing them as of late; but when I see one, they always stop me in my tracks.

Look what goes into creating one from a construction standpoint. Wow.
Such a lovely architectural feature.
I love the repeating effect on this terrace.
What are your thoughts on this type of ceiling? Do you like it or would you pass on it? M.
I LOVE it... it is so majestic, conjuring up Renaissance and Gothic architecture. And I just can't resist references like that. :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! Might pass on the name, but not the style!!

Lovely! What would I pin on Pinterest without you, Mandi???
ReplyDeleteThese are so interesting! I had no idea what they were called, and I'm not sure I'm a fan of the name (you cracked me up about working that term in at a dinner party), but they definitely add great architectural interest. I doubt they'd work in my sleepy little suburban home, but in a grand estate, why not?
ReplyDeleteI love the ceilings. They are creative and interesting.
