I was also quite interested in having a gap on the ceiling in a few locations. Donald Judd used this in his house in Switzerland - it gives the impression of a vertical plane 'slicing' through the ceiling. Our plasterers are upset enough at having no skirting boards. We'll see how far we push them - of course they'll just come back with more costs. Unfortunately there isn’t a shadow gap planned.
