PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
This project is located in the main area of a temple in Canada. The space directly above the Buddha’s head is one of the most symbolically significant and visually central locations in the building.
The custom ceiling in this area adopts a stacked array of square profiles, forming a layered three-dimensional design with strong order and spatial hierarchy. Although the overall design is based on square components, the continuous vertical stacking across six levels imposes very high requirements on structural precision, alignment between modules, and installation coordination.

The core of this project focuses on the multi-level matrix ceiling structure above the Buddha.
This structure uses custom profiles as modular units, precisely arranged and stacked to achieve the intended visual effect. While individual components are uniform and standardized, their alignment across six levels must strictly maintain axial positioning and proportional relationships, as even minor deviations could be amplified in the three-dimensional stack.
Key client requirements included:
Given the religious nature of the space, the client required exceptionally high standards for detail, symmetry, and visual purity. The project was thus not only a structural challenge but also a comprehensive test of craftsmanship and quality control.
To meet these requirements, our company developed a systematic solution involving precise layer-by-layer ceiling segmentation, factory pre-assembly verification, and standardized installation procedures to ensure the realization of the design overseas.
This ceiling consists of custom profiles, and the continuous stacking across six levels means that each level is closely interrelated. Achieving precise segmentation while ensuring consistent overall visual integrity, under the constraints of layered shipping and on-site assembly, was a key challenge.
The six-level structure must ultimately present a unified visual effect, yet each level must remain independent during production and transportation. This requirement set a high bar for the early-stage design and planning. Any deviations in dimensions or alignment could be magnified in the final assembly.
Model Based on Client's Design
Project Drawings and Installation Guide
To ensure precise assembly, our technical team first created 3D models based on the client’s design, accurately representing spatial relationships and component layouts for each level. From these models, detailed drawings were produced and the design data converted into technical specifications to directly guide production and factory pre-assembly.
Each level was pre-assembled and verified in the factory, confirming that the structure could be fully restored from its segmented state. After verification of dimensions and alignment, the components were labeled and shipped in layers, ensuring smooth on-site installation.
As a religious site, the client had high requirements for the overall visual effect and details, especially at corners and connections, as these are where gaps are most easily noticed. In the square modular array, corners are the most likely points for construction discrepancies. Any gaps, color inconsistencies, or surface irregularities could be visually amplified, directly impacting the overall appearance. Precise miter cutting at corner joints was therefore essential to achieve clean transitions and minimize visible seams.
To meet these requirements, our technical team implemented systematic optimizations across connection methods, installation precision, and surface finish. Connection fittings at corners were adjusted to achieve tighter, more natural joints, maintaining stability while enhancing aesthetic continuity.
During installation, drilling and fastening depths were strictly controlled to prevent surface bumps or indentations. Color matching management was strengthened to ensure uniformity within each area and prevent visible discrepancies at junctions. Through these coordinated efforts, corners and junctions were executed with clean, nearly seamless results.
The project was completed with the six-level ceiling structure successfully pre-assembled in the factory and installed overseas. The smooth installation process and accurate on-site alignment were largely attributed to thorough verification during the design development and pre-assembly stages, as well as careful coordination of the complex stacked structure, effective application of digital modeling, and structured management throughout overseas execution. The final result maintained clear spatial layering and a unified visual effect across all six levels, closely matching the original design intent.
