auskragende Deckenkonstruktionen projecting/protruding ceilings/floors Explanation: ... or "floor designs". Another term springing to mind for "auskragend" is "cantilevered". I'd play it safe and stick to either ceilings or floors ("floors" is often used as a synonym - cf. [precast] hollow-core floors - Hohldecken). |

overhang roofs/ceilings Explanation: I believe this term is what you're looking for. Whether roof or ceiling is probably evident with more context. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 Stunden (2010-11-04 12:18:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In terms of thermal bridging, I also think that roofs are the more logical choice. As for protruding/projecting or cantilevered vs. overhang... that should probably be determined by whether you are translating into GB or US English.

Reference: Two examples Reference information: Das neue Casino am Mythenquai zeichnet sich durch eine klar ablesbare Struktur aus. Geprägt durch die auskragenden Deckenkonstruktionen tritt die Schichtung der Funktionen deutlich in den Vordergrund. Die statisch notwendigen Dimensionen und die Bauweise der Kassettendecken werden zum markanten Element des Gebäudes. Vor- und Rücksprünge der Ebenen erschaffen räumliche Überlagerungen, verlängern und betonen die Blicke über den Zürichsee. The new casino on Mythenquai is characterized by its protruding ceilings, which emphasize the strong horizontal layering of its internal functions. Braces and notches of the respective levels create spacially overlapping situations, prolonging and highlighting the wide vistas over lake Zurich. http://www.sichtraum.com/ http://www.architekturwettbewerb.at/data/media/med_binary/or... |
