by Shane Henson — August 5, 2013—Seeyond Architectural Solutions recently announced the completion of another installation of its new ceiling clouds—this one now gracing the lobby area of a tropical resort in the Caribbean, catching the attention of guests with a dynamic architectural piece evoking the sea.
The resort said they wanted a dramatic lobby experience for their guests as they entered the property—an experience that reflected the flow of the Caribbean waters. Their design firm, DSI Hospitality in Miami, worked with Seeyond to deliver on those expectations.
“The new Seeyond ceiling cloud is incredibly theatrical,” said Clive Booker, president at DSI. “Everyone finds it to be very cool, new and enlightening. It’s a very cost-effective approach for a very challenging space. We enjoyed the truly turnkey nature of the Seeyond solution starting with the highly interactive design phase and working all the way through to installation. The team was great and so is the product. We can’t wait to use it again in another project.”
According to Seeyond, its ceiling installations offer a number of distinct advantages to alternative approaches for ceiling treatments. The cellular resin material used in Seeyond clouds has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio with a one-pound-per-square-foot weight solution, and every Seeyond installation features hidden hardware, thereby delivering a clean and elegant tessellated aesthetic, adds the company.
Further, the Seeyond solution proves to be an ideal approach for efficiently creating organic shape and complex form, says the company. Typical market segments for Seeyond include hospitality, office, and retail environments. The average time from design through installation is reportedly less than two months. Since the product’s introduction, Seeyond has installed more than 30 unique specialty features throughout the United States, the company says.
