Dulon College, Ede

Architects: Cepezed

Woodtype: European Pine

Dimensions: Linear ProLine 15x116 with a joint of 19 mm

Finisch: Custom color

To create an inspiring and sustainable learning environment, Dulon College underwent a complete renovation. In collaboration with the architecture firm Cepezed, a design was developed where the original concrete skeleton was preserved. The building was expanded with bright, daylight-filled halls and modern classrooms that meet future requirements.

Hunter Douglas Architectural supplied the Derako® solid wood linear ceiling system for various educational spaces, such as those for music, healthcare, and technology. This system, made from European Pine and finished in a custom-chosen color, offers a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Benefits

The linear ceiling system not only adds texture and aesthetics to the interior but also creates an inviting atmosphere that encourages collaboration and learning. Additionally, wood has a proven positive effect on health and well-being. Due to these properties, the new interior meets the Fresh Schools Class B label, contributing to a healthy indoor climate.

Execution

During the renovation, 1,800 m² of Derako® linear solid wood ceilings were installed. The renewed building combines a prefabricated wooden frame with aluminum cladding and large glass sections. This design not only provides a modern appearance but also optimizes the use of natural light, increasing the building's energy efficiency.

Custom Craftsmanship

In a market dominated by standard solutions, the custom-made Derako® solid wood grill ceiling stands out with its unique design and high-quality finish. Specifically developed to meet the specific needs of Dulon College, this results in a maintenance-friendly solution that reflects craftsmanship and quality.

A Sustainable Final Result

The renovation of Dulon College highlights the importance of sustainability in modern architecture. The use of Hunter Douglas wood wall and ceiling systems is a conscious choice, as wood is not only a renewable resource but also stores CO2 throughout its lifespan.
