Brick Ceiling Arches Hidden With Plaster

Ceilings in Mexico are often made with bricks laid in “bobeda” style, or in arches between steel beams that later are plastered and finished with lime.

I personally like exposed brick, but my Mexican builder buddies say it's unsightly and unfinished. In our apartment, I relented to the local real estate norms, and we have covered the ceilings with plaster.
