What happened

The call

Beams cross the vaulted ceiling at an angle and meet at a center ridge point, stained dark against white.

Recessed lights sit in the panels between the beams, not on them — the layout had to work around the beam lines, not the other way around.

Same room, a different angle: the beams read as one continuous set from every side of it.
