Exposed Metal Ductwork

Leaving metal ductwork exposed wins back the height a false ceiling would hide, and gives an industrial room a strong line to follow overhead. These ducts run along raw and grey concrete ceilings, and the rooms below answer in kind: black islands and counters, one topped with white stone, and a fluted glass partition.
