I'm not an expert so dunno.. If you get to do this.. It'll be good if you can share the cost to us as well. I suspect it'll be a combination of the area of your drop down false ceiling (sf) x cost of false ceiling, + pfr to create a L-box with cove lighting for the perimeter.. so not going to be cheap.
