Reflective Metal Ceiling Brings Energy to Flexible Workplace Design

The mirrored ceiling at Workplace Resource in Denver, Colorado, transforms a multi-use showroom into an immersive, inspiring gathering space through innovative use of metal. 

The design team sought to create an environment that could seamlessly transition from casual lounge settings to a 100-seat lecture or panel discussion venue. To define this otherwise open area, the team selected a highly reflective, textured metal ceiling treatment that would introduce movement, drama, and emotional impact. The solution was a custom ceiling system. The selected pattern was designed to evoke the appearance of “Wind on the Water” with a mirror-polished surface with subtle texture that interacts dynamically with light.

Madeline Sapyta, NICIDQ, creative studio director at Workplace Resource, says the light, reflective metal material allows for a lower ceiling height while defining the space and shaping the overall impact on those interacting in it. Rodriguez stated, “In terms of metal, it’s really good workmanship with every sheet being pounded.”
