Text description provided by the architects. R-BAS celebrated the completion of the Chez Moi project in Donggang, Dairen (Dalian). This project covers architecture alteration and interior design of a baking workshop, a bistro, a culinary classroom, and a community cultural centre. Chez Moi means ‘at my home’ in French. The client’s expected atmosphere is to ‘go all the way to share a stove on a winter’s night’. Therefore, it is conceived as a harbour of community affections that aims to improve the distant neighbourhood relations of this newly developed quayside residential district. Chez Moi is envisaged as a place shared and hosted by Donggang residents to connect through a variety of arts, cultural and educational activities together with the display of local agricultural produce. The venue also provides an authentic European-style bistro catering service that focuses on Slow Food philosophy.
