Although LS2 Design and Construction merged two rooms into one open-concept study-and-lounge in this flat, a change of flooring (from screed to wood-clad platform) and different lighting treatments indicate the functions of the two spaces. The beam seemingly completes the demarcation of the two spaces.
Another way to make the beam look deliberate is by painting it to frame a space, as Edge Interior did in this flat in Chinatown. In stark contrast to the floor and wall finishes, the beam is painted black, and even connects to ‘columns’ that complete the frame.
