         2 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a baseplate configured for coupling to the housing to the overhead structure; and   a rotatable arm coupled to the baseplate, wherein the rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose.   
     
     
         3 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , further comprising a cord extending from the housing, wherein the cord is supported by the rotatable arm. 
     
     
         4 . The faucet system of  claim 3 , wherein a terminal end of the cord is connected to a coupling, the coupling being configured to hold the hose to facilitate positioning and movement of the hose. 
     
     
         5 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , wherein the housing is disposed within the ceiling structure. 
     
     
         6 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , wherein the housing is disposed below the ceiling structure. 
     
     
         7 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to operate according to a plurality of modes, wherein each of the plurality of modes determines the temperature, the flow of water through the hose, or both. 
     
     
         8 . The faucet system of  claim 7 , further comprising a spray head disposed at a terminal end of the hose, wherein the plurality of modes comprises a default mode, a gentle mode, and a boost mode of the spray head. 
     
     
         9 . The faucet system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises a control knob having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion is configured to rotate relative to the bottom portion, and wherein rotation of the top portion controls the temperature, the flow of the water within the faucet system, or both. 
     
     
         10 . The faucet system of  claim 9 , wherein the top portion of the control knob includes one or more buttons disposed within a top surface, the one or more buttons configured to operate the faucet system based on one or more modes. 
     
     
         11 . A faucet system comprising:
 a housing assembly configured to be coupled to an overhead structure;   a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly, the hose assembly comprising:
 a hose configured to hang below the housing assembly; 
 a cord extending from the housing assembly; and 
 a coupling connected to a terminal end of the cord, the coupling configured to hold the hose to facilitate positioning and movement of the hose; and 
   a spray head coupled to a terminal end of the hose.   
     
     
         12 . The faucet system of  claim 11 , further comprising a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, wherein the rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose and the spray head. 
     
     
         13 . The faucet system of  claim 12 , wherein the cord is configured to pass through the rotatable arm such that the terminal end of the cord extends from a distal end of the rotatable arm. 
     
     
         14 . The faucet system of  claim 11 , wherein the cord is supported by a wheel disposed within the housing assembly. 
     
     
         15 . The faucet system of  claim 14 , wherein the wheel is configured to maintain and adjust a length of the cord, and wherein maintaining and adjusting the length of the cord include extending and retracting the cord. 
     
     
         16 . The faucet system of  claim 11 , wherein the terminal end of the cord forms a loop, the loop being configured to connect to a tab disposed within the coupling. 
     
     
         17 . A faucet system comprising:
 a housing assembly configured to be coupled to a ceiling structure, wherein the housing includes a mixing valve and a wheel disposed therein; and   a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly, the hose assembly comprising:
 a hose being fluidly coupled to the mixing valve and configured to hang below the housing assembly; and 
 a cord extending from the housing assembly, wherein the cord is supported by the wheel and the wheel is configured to maintain and adjust a length of the cord; and 
 a coupling connected to a terminal end of the cord, the coupling configured to hold the hose to facilitate positioning and movement of the hose. 
   
     
     
         18 . The faucet system of  claim 17 , further comprising a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, wherein the rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose relative to the housing assembly.
