Project Overview

Milestone PLM provided specialized engineering support for a custom circular wood ceiling designed for a modern kids club. The design features concentric wood panels, stepped profiles, and integrated LED lighting to create an attractive focal point. The project prioritized child safety, lightweight construction, and aesthetic appeal. Detailed technical drawings were developed to ensure dimensional accuracy and proper coordination. The design also considered manufacturing feasibility and practical installation requirements. The final solution combines visual appeal, functional design, and efficient fabrication for a child-friendly interior.

The Challenge

What Made This Project Complex

Custom circular wood ceiling designs require a careful balance of aesthetics, child safety, lightweight construction, and manufacturing precision. Coordinating the concentric panels, supporting structure, fastening details, and stepped ceiling levels adds complexity to fabrication and installation. Material selection and secure fixing methods are essential to achieve a stable and child-friendly design. Integrating LED lighting while maintaining a clean and seamless finish requires careful technical detailing. A structured engineering approach ensures dimensional accuracy, efficient fabrication, and smooth installation.

01 Developing multiple concentric wood panels with accurately defined radii and consistent spacing to maintain a balanced, symmetrical appearance.
02 Coordinating different ceiling levels and wood edge details to achieve a clean, continuous finish.
03 Incorporating LED strip lighting within the stepped assembly while maintaining a neat appearance and providing suitable space for lighting components.
04 Detailing the supporting blocking and fastening arrangement to accommodate the ceiling assembly and support reliable installation.
05 Considering material selection and panel construction to help minimize unnecessary weight while maintaining the required rigidity and stability.
06 Providing clear construction details to help the project team understand the panel arrangement, assembly sequence, and installation requirements.
Our Approach

How Milestone PLM delivered

The custom circular wood ceiling was developed as a 3D design project using Auto desk Inventor. The modelling and detailing process focused on maintaining accurate circular geometry, consistent panel spacing, lightweight construction, and proper component alignment to support child safety considerations, manufacturing feasibility, and installation planning.

Key Deliverables
  • Complete Autodesk Inventor 3D model of the custom circular wood ceiling design.
  • Wood panel layout with accurately defined radii and stepped profiles.
  • Coordinated 3D assembly defining component positioning, spacing, and alignment.
  • Detailed ceiling sections illustrating panel construction, supporting blocking, and fastening arrangements
  • Manufacturing-oriented technical drawings to support fabrication planning, assembly coordination, and installation.
Delivery Process

How we structured the work

01

Requirement Review & Project Planning

Reviewed the provided architectural drawings, ceiling details, material specifications, and design requirements to understand the project scope and design intent. This established the foundation for 3D modelling, geometric development, and technical detailing while considering aesthetics, child safety, lightweight construction, and installation requirements.

02

3D Casework Modeling & Design Development

Developed the custom circular ceiling model in Autodesk Inventor, incorporating concentric wood panels, stepped profiles, supporting elements, and integrated LED lighting. Focused on accurate radii, panel spacing, component alignment, and assembly coordination to maintain design consistency and support manufacturing feasibility.

03

Engineering Documentation & Design Coordination

Prepared coordinated plan, elevation, section, and perspective views to communicate the ceiling geometry and construction details. Documented panel dimensions, supporting blocking, fastening arrangements, and lighting integration to support technical review, fabrication planning, and installation coordination.

04

Design Review & Final Delivery

Reviewed the 3D model and technical drawings for dimensional accuracy, geometric consistency, and alignment across all views. Organized the engineering deliverables to provide clear design communication and support subsequent fabrication and installation planning.
