Here's a job I did last summer, I got to design all of the drywall features and the owner loves it. By far the biggest job I've ever done, over 18000 sqft of drywall to finish perfectly. It was so rewarding in the end when I got to see the lights go on and see the vision I had in my head for months come to life.

Spectacular!

When I win the lottery I know who I'm calling to do the drywall in the custom home I'm building in my head.  I used to think of drywall as nothing more than wall covering and you've made it a design feature. I don't know if I've just not kept up on these things but that is by far the best drywall work I have ever seen.
 
Looks really great! Definitely takes some relatively ordinary spaces and makes them incredibly interesting. I can't imagine the patience and skill to finish those all so nicely!
 
Very illuminating!  [big grin]

Seriously, absolutely stunning work!

My drills and track saw got a pretty good workout as well. I cut up close to a dozen sheets of 1/2, 5/8, and 1" plywood for backing. I would have liked to have the TS75 for that one inch but the 55 managed.

Nice to see the pics of how all that went in.  Do you have more?

Your project makes our current small job seem a bit pedestrian (only 25 sheets ! ).
 
Yeah. Here's the framing behind that big feature ceiling. Lots of steel I was getting a little anxious at this point cause there was no turning back and other than a top view scale sketch the design only existed in my head.

The bedroom ceiling feature framing.

Really great work as usual for you.  Love the lighting.  How are the transformers hidden from view or where are they placed?

Fantastic work, looks brilliant!

I have a couple of questions though, as this is something I've never seen done with these materials here in the UK.

Firstly, why use steel for the framework? Couldn't you just use timber?

And secondly, why is this done with drywall? Wouldn't it be better to do it in MDF? I would have thought the edges of the drywall would be quite easily damaged.
 
Simply freaking AMAZING!!! I couldn't even think of that, let alone execute it.

Did you do the edges with traditional bead, or j-channel, or...?

More pictures, please?! more, More, MORE!!!
