The simplest definition of a vaulted ceiling is a self-supporting arched structure to cover a space. This technique was used extensively during the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages but fell into disuse with the advance of other building solutions that became more practical. However, many contemporary projects still build these elements or highlight the original structures in renovations because of their powerful impact on the building design.
Vaults are already very powerful architectural elements when seen from the outside, but from the inside, we can really grasp their rich sensorial effect because of the rhythm created by the structure and the impacts on lighting in the built environment. We have gathered here 21 examples of these arched solutions in different programs and materials, demonstrating how vaulted ceilings can provide a very unique design for each building.
Tiled steps lead down from the terrace to the pool of Casa Ter, a concrete and stone house designed by architecture studio Mesura in Baix Empordà, Spain.
The L-shaped residence is bisected by an outdoor terrace that runs along one side and through the end, creating a covered indoor-outdoor living space.

Earth-toned steps lead down to a long swimming pool set in the rolling fields of rural Catalonia. The house is named for the nearby Ter River, and stones from its banks have been used in its construction.
Sandy-coloured textured concrete render covers the low-slung exterior of the house.
