Kitchen ceiling.

The kitchen has a 10.5 metre steel ridge which protrudes into the vaulted ceiling by 50cm. I also attached the ventilation 75mm pipework along the side of the steel to supply the living room at the opposite end.

So a curved ceiling to run underneath the inside of the ridge. A simple explanation is imagining a skateboard halfpipe upside down. I built a frame out of ply with cutouts for batten to run the entire length of the ceiling. I then fitted a layer of 6mm red faced ply to create a curve. Then the final layer of 4mm birch plywood, glue and pinned and treated with Osmo oil.

Well, it took a while. I know my building is not 100% square as one of the long kitchen walls was leaning out when we fitted the original rafters but overall the sheets all butted up square with only one sheet needing a little fillet added.  I started in the middle of the room to allow any discrepancies to dealt with at either end.

Then it was back to more plaster boarding and a novice bee keeper.

More to follow.

That curve is just stunning. Can’t wait to see this finished. 

Thanks Peter, I will add some better quality photos to show the the colour and grain of the birch plywood.

Agree, looks fantastic. Whereabouts in S Devon are you James? We're about to embark on a self-build in the Totnes area.
