1/13/2022

Happy New Year from Barrisol BC. To start the year we would like to share with you a printed and backlit Barrisol ceiling we installed at The Smithe by Boffo Developments in Vancouver, BC. It features the art of local BC artist, Ben Reeves.

Thanks to Boffo Developments for the following video, which so well encapsulates the beauty of the design concept and the Barrisol stretch ceiling itself. Our congratulations to artist Ben Reeves for the creation of this stunning public art piece, Viewpoint. As Jan Ballard said, it is "a jewel in the sky".

More to the story....

An interesting coincidence is that artist Ben Reeves teaches at Emily Carr University and the photographer, Rachel Topham, has worked with us previously to photograph the art of Emily Carr (Big Raven) as part of a residential project that we completed a few years back in collaboration with the Vancouver Art gallery.

Sept - Back to School

9/23/2019

September marks the return of the school year so we wanted to feature one of our favorite Barrisol school installations.

Mulgrave School in West Vancouver features 14 suspended white triangular ceilings, 2 back lit leaf shaped ceilings, and 1 back lit round ceiling. The white triangular ceilings contain tiny micro perforations that turn sound waves into heat energy. Barrisol's micro-perforated fabrics are used to target adjust sound absorption and room reverberation time.

Barrisol Ceiling - The ARC - Dailyhive.com

8/23/2019

The printed and back lit Barrisol ceiling, at the ARC Vancouver, can be seen in the recent Dailyhive.com news article, "There's now a surreal 200-ft high, glass-bottom pool in downtown Vancouver", by Kenneth Chan.

Article Excerpt:
"While the pool is certainly the centrepiece of the tower’s design, it is enhanced by a colourful ‘Ode to Canada’ ceiling design. During nighttime, the illuminated pool, with light bouncing off the ceiling, turns the underside into a beacon for the tower." -Kenneth Chan

Brandhorst Museum - Germany

This is an excellent example of a create, and aesthetic, use of light.

Location: Brandhorst Museum - Germany.
"The Contemporary Art museum of Munich was inaugurated last May. Its architecture is based on a design and ecological concept. The architect Sauerbruch Hutton chose Barrisol Lumière® to light and enhance the exposed works of the XXth century among which the Andy Wahrol's famous paintings. Indeed, Barrisol Lumière® diffuses the light in a sweet and homogeneous way on the whole exhibition space. Furthermore, the Barrisol sheets are 100%, recyclable and are so perfectly adapted in this modern building turned to sustainable environment." - Courtesy of www.barrisol.ca.

Happy New Year!

1/21/2015

2015 looks like it is going to be a busy year for the construction, architecture & design industry here in greater Vancouver, BC.

Whether you are working on a small project....

or a large one...

we can add some light to your space with custom translucent Barrisol ceilings...

To achieve even back lighting we recommend either florescent tubes (1 ft from the Barrisol ceiling membrane and 1 ft on center) or LEDs. When back lighting with LEDs the quantity and the spacing of the lights will need to be determined by the specific LEDs selected.

To view more photos of back lit ceilings please visit our Lighting Gallery.
