full-width bare concrete ceilings without pillars
My suggestion. "Filant" is notoriously difficult but the idea is no interruptions or breaks. 'Brut de décoffrage' simply means no rendering or other finish. New Brutalism style stuff. The idea being a whole expanse of what I would find a very ominous ceiling looking as if it's about to drop on my head.
