THE
FIFTH WALL
Great ceiling designs add eye-popping
aesthetics, important functionality
BY PETER FABRIS, Contributing Editor
At Barbatella in Naples, Fla.,
1,400 plaster medallions
painted bright green were
attached to the walls and
ceiling. The design treatment
drew some scrutiny from
the local fre marshal, who
wanted to ensure they would
not block the sprinklers.
