Drop ceiling / lighitng

Interior Design

I need some help with drop ceilings and lighting.

I’m working on a house where we lowered the front room and entrance to match the ground floor. The ceiling in the front is at its min height, but it only reaches the top of the window, which is a tall 315 cm. The rest of the room is only 280 cm high.

Any ideas on how to design a drop ceiling that covers this difference without blocking the windows?

Can you drop the ceiling in the middle of the room, while leaving the full height for a couple of feet in front of the windows?
Maybe add up-lighting strips around the drop, so it looks like you wanted the ceiling that way as a design feature?

Or - slope the edge of the drop from above the windows to the ceiling height. If the slope looks weird in the space, you could accent the lower edge with molding, lighting, etc., to draw the eye to the dropped part and not the slope.
