Daning Road Elementary School

LINEWORKS transformed Shanghai’s Daning Road Primary School into a vibrant, modern campus while preserving its heritage. The 2024 phase reimagined the entrance with geometric forms and a bold yellow accent, harmonizing it with the neighborhood. Interior upgrades included light-infused classrooms, a reading room with sloped ceilings optimized for brightness, and a gymnastics space blending indoor-outdoor energy. Constraints like enclosed corridors were resolved through adaptive design, creating airy communal areas. Warm wood finishes and playful yet sophisticated aesthetics unify the campus, fostering creativity and well-being. The project revitalizes an aging institution, balancing timeless charm with contemporary functionality.
