You don't mean coffer - those are 4 sided.  What you show is joists and I assume you mean like concrete joists - correct?

Years ago, I did a precast parking garage where I used a double T family that I created.  You could do something similar... or you could do an in-place extrusion in the floor category....or you could do a very thick floor with a face based void (adjustable length) to cut the void areas.

Not really any best method.  Best method is maybe based on your skills.
