Sky Central
A corporate atrium interior precedent showcasing mass timber ceiling construction and multi-level visual connectivity for large workspaces.
- What we like about this project
- The deep waffle grid of timber beams doubles as both a massive structural roof and a primary aesthetic filter for natural light.

- Geometry
- Multi-level open atrium with tiered mezzanines, connecting staircases, and a deep coffer ceiling grid.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with glulam timber roof structure and concrete composite floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-story atrium; grand scale with human activity concentrated across multiple visible levels.
- Lighting
- Bright, even daylight filtering through a coffered timber ceiling system, complemented by warm interior downlighting.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, active, and warm corporate hub animated by natural wood textures and natural light.
- Environmental context
- Large corporate office interior, likely a headquarters central atrium.
- Spatial experience
- Vast, interconnected vertical workspace where multiple levels visually and physically communicate around a central hub.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong orthogonal grid in the ceiling coffering echoed by the repetitive vertical balustrades and structural columns.
