English term or phrase: exposed soffit
What is exposed soffit?
Soffit refers to the underside of a building component, usually a flooring section. An exposed soffit is one to which no additional finishing layer, such as a suspended ceiling, or tiling, board, or laminate, has been applied.

What are the benefits of exposed soffit?
Many architects appreciate the qualities of exposed soffits as a design feature of the building, but there are also other benefits both in the construction of the building and its eventual functionality. A floor with exposed soffit is quicker to construct and also thinner than one with additional layers, reducing both the cost of construction and also the overall height of the building.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Man irgi panašu, kad čia yra atviros pakabinamos lubos, tik dar neaišku kaip jos atrodo (ar metalinės grotelės ar kitaip), nes būna "exposed soffit" ir "semi-exposed soffit"


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Inga Jokubauske: sutinku su "atviras sofitas", bet jis nieko bendro su pakabinamom lubom neturi. Sofitas - apatinis skliauto, arkos, išsikišusio karnizo paviršius;
