#soffit

[vintagehomecollection]

The mirror in the master bathroom extends right up to the soffit and over to the exterior wall, which gives the illusion of a room double the size, with twice as many windows. Glass block, which comes down to the tub, lets in light but obscures the view.

These fabulous and fabulously enriched coffers are on the soffit of the vault of the interior of Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, Rome. You can see the square coffers on the underside of the arches on both ends of the vault. The underside of an arch is called an 'intrados.' You can also see the square and rectangular coffers on the cross vault beyond the far arch on the lower portion of the image.

An almost room-sized skylight pumps plenty of light into this kitchen, while tiny halogen puck lights sparkle from an encircling soffit. Delicate curved pendant fixtures provide task and ambient lighting to the bar counter.

An alcove in the master bedroom created by a lowered soffit, can easily become a home office - a solution that works well for tidy people.
