Dulwich College International (DCI) is a leader in the international education sector, with its renowned Dulwich umbrella of Colleges and High Schools.
As a trusted partner of DCI, having designed and managed several campuses of Dulwich schools in China and advised on projects in Asia, VIRTUARCH was selected for the interior design and the project management of the new offices of DCI in China, on one office floor of ca. 2,000 square meters in Plaza 66 on West Nanjing Road in the city centre of Shanghai.
Environmentally Friendly, Innovative and Comfortable
“The design of the new office had to be in line with the group’s philosophy and should reflect the innovative educational approach of the company. This was one of the major requirements of DCI”, says Daniel HEUSSER, President of VIRTUARCH. The new office also had to be low-carbon, environmentally friendly, green and healthy; it should create a comfortable and warm office environment with a sense of belonging. After a thorough analysis and understanding of DCI’s education and business philosophy, VIRTUARCH created five areas of experience with its own feeling and functionality each: the reception area, the central conference area, the town hall area, the open office area, and the brainstorming area.
