Two Large Fabric-Tensioned Ceilings

At THE LIQUOR FORT @ MAIDAWAS, DB Architekt wanted a clean and immersive ceiling system with minimal visible fixtures, yet warm, soft, and even light on the island product displays. We designed two large fabric-tensioned ceilings (10′ × 60′ and 10′ × 36′) supported by concealed LED lightboxes so the space feels distinctive and perfectly lit.

Materials and Execution

• Tensioned Fabric Lightbox: High-tensile fabric stretched over a precision framing system to create a continuous, seamless ceiling surface.
• Structural Base & Sealing: Ply boxing sub-structure reinforced to support the fabric and integrated LED rails—sealed to prevent dust and insects from entering the light cavity.
• LED Lighting: Dimmable, energy-efficient LEDs integrated in the frame for even illumination without multiple surface-mounted fixtures.

Key Features and Benefits

• Clean sightlines: Maintains a minimalist look, allowing the ceiling to “float” above the area.
• Durability and hygiene: Airtight design keeps insects and dust out, maintaining light quality with less upkeep.
• Scalability: Modular framework enables quick repeat deployment for future locations.
