#2 Tray Ceiling is a ceiling that along the edge where it meets the wall is standard height but is raised in the center but levels out again to a flat ceiling area. The raised edge is usually faced with trim to enhance the vaulted look. Just imagine the center of the ceiling as a tray.

Last year the masonry CYV's name changed from Savannah Series to Bungalow series. The main difference is the bedrooms had volume (vaulted) in the Savannah series but in the Bungalows they've changed the bedrooms to a tray ceilings. See photo

#2 Coggered Ceiling, I think you meant coffered ceiling. Which is an elaborate trim job, beams running across the ceiling crossing each other. A fancy way to dress up the ceiling, usually seen in a study, family room or dining room. See photo
