Linear Wood Ceilings – The Most Common Questions

A linear wood ceiling is when you look up from the floor and see a nice, wide piece of wood. We often hear it referred to as a slat or a plank.

Newport Beach Civic Center — Newport Beach, CA

Solid Western Hemlock with Custom Stain

SKU(s): 2114-3

The architect conceived a design with S-curved ceiling bays. Like shimmering sails overlooking the nearby marina, the bays spanned 150 feet long by 30 feet wide. Each bay’s S-geometry continued from the interior through the glass curtain wall to the exterior soffit. FSC Hemlock planks, some as long as 17 feet, were panelized to fit the curves using flexible backers.

As for the Council Chambers, “the doubly curved wall was an important focal point of the meeting room,” recalled the Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. “9Wood worked with us to adapt a standard flat-panel product as a cost-effective way to treat the surface that curved in two dimensions. The curved wood wall beautifully captured the grazing daylight coming from the skylight above, while providing warmth, as well as good acoustics.” This room’s complex geometry needed over 100 unique panels. They were 100% FSC-certified and NAUF. In addition, the microperf panels had to achieve an NRC of greater than 0.80, while minimizing the perforation’s visual impact — the room’s natural sunlight making this task doubly challenging.

The results are beautiful and functional acoustic surfaces, striking features of the council chamber. The natural wood veneers combine with full spectrum sunlight to generate warmth that compliments the clean, contemporary space, and connects the curved meeting room to the flowing exterior wood elements.

The Most Accessible Wood Ceiling

Accessibility and dropped wood ceilings are a classic conflict because you have your mechanical systems, HVAC, lighting, and electrical, and then you cover it all up with highly custom decorative wood products. With ceiling accessibility, you must think about the damage over time, whether you’re the designer or the facilities person taking a panel down. Because …

BIGHORN Clubhouse

March 21, 2019 by

BIGHORN Clubhouse — Palm Desert, CA

Solid Western Hemlock, Walnut Veneer with Custom Stain, Custom Stain

SKU(s): 2314-3, Custom 2100

The Clubhouse at BIGHORN, Palm Desert, Calif., is “built on curves,” says BIGHORN President Carl Cardinalli. The clubhouse has linear wood ceilings, special ceilings shaped like leaves, and matching wood wall panels. “There are very few right angles to be found throughout the entire building,” Cardinalli says.

BIGHORN has eight, leaf-shaped walnut veneered ceilings, totaling 3,628 square feet. The largest is 952 square feet in size. The smallest is only 71 square feet. 9Wood designed the systems to meet the architect’s design intent. BIGHORN Magazine calls them “a suspended work of art within this grand setting.”

The undulating upper ceilings run inside and outside the building. They comprise about 12,000 square feet of 3-1/4-inch linear planks, ranging from 8 to 12 feet in length, made of a custom-stained solid western hemlock.
