Why did you go with thinner molding around the outside edges? One might think that should be the same width as the pieces returning to the walls?
I did 3d sketchup models with multiple designs and I preferred this slimmer look. I had to work around the existing light boxes and I was worried about the outer squares looking too small relative to the middle square. I did a mockup with a full perimeter beam to give it a fully coffered look but like i said the outer boxes got to small. I also considered just a single perimeter board that was the same depth of the cross sections like in that 3d model i posted but eventually decided against it. Too me this ended up looking like 4 cross beams with a matching perimeter of crown moulding.
I looked at hundreds of ceilings and one thing I learned is there is no right way, its all personal preference.

As I said, I think the ceiling looks great. It was just something that stood out to me as I looked at it closer. Nothing wrong with it.

I understand, just tried to explain my reasoning.
I filled out my original post better with a couple more pics.
Me, sadly off to a funeral for an old workmate today
R.I.P. Mel B.
I also fed my fetish for Lego Technic; the two models below that I've been trying to locate for a while. I am so happy I was able to get my hands on them and looking forward to the build
Forgive my abbreviation for privacy considerations I did forget there are others some call 'Mel B' about.
Mel or most called him Mal in our day was an all round good guy. I had forgotten he was a Vietnam veteran in the days Australia went to help the USA out over there. There were lots of stories at he funeral and wake yesterday. One I am having a problem believing in was that he carried the M60 machine gun for the section. Mel was never of large frame. It is just hard to picture.
There was a lovely letter written by a fellow soldier in the same infantry section saying he always felt safe knowing Mel was at his back and he was a forward scout. He mentioned every time he turned around while on on patrol Mel would give a wide smile and the thumbs up. Nice. Cheers Mel.

Sorry for your loss. Didn't want to seem insensitive with the Mel B pic. It was just the first thing that came to mind
At the end of weekend 3 we're done, and WOW!!! The system sounds amazing.
