DCA, a Shanghai-based studio founded in 2008, is a creative team exploring multiple areas of design, primarily architecture. The partners each have nearly 20 years of professional experience, with diverse academic and professional backgrounds. We joined together under the same passion for design, architecture and life.

We believe design is the media of humans, society and life. We want to show the beauty and fineness in either urban or rural, new construction or renovation, innovation or product, interior or landscape, grand or small.

We focus on the development of contemporary China with international perspective and hope our design will reflect regionality and modernity.

We recognize the uniqueness of each project, and through the journey of research and design we unfold new possibilities.

We believe that our design creates value, bringing new opportunities and a sense of discovery to all.
