Located on Gangwan Street, Zhongshan District, Dairen (Dalian), baas by chuck offers coffee, whisky and natural wine. R-BAS was commissioned to create a retail space that embodies the spiritual nature of the bar's ideology whilst the tranquil connotation of materials is thus reflectively probed by means of the design.
In its very early conception, the place was deemed as a natural wine shop and an introverted urban landscape by the project brief. The real task was to generate poetic magnetism and legibility within this approximately 20m2 area. Began with a thorough extrapolation, the design strategy is as much about materiality as intricate circulations being inapplicable here.
Natural wines, also 'low-intervention wines', are wines made from hand-picked grapes and produced employing traditional methods with modest or no industrial techniques. Inspired by the client's products, the street-facing elevation is heavy in nature delineated by charred yakisugi. The cladding of the façade itself withstands the stresses of fire, humidity and the intrusion of insects. By picking up on the play of sunlight, the micro-craquelé of the dark carbonised skin flickers silver, drawing attention to the interior. A weathered 'fermented' texture of yakisugi will appear as time goes by. Exquisite patina will be acquired, bringing in a thrilled evolving aesthetic.
The proportion of the raised floor and the al fresco ceiling is strictly designed according to the dimensions of yakisugi boards. A monolithic massing that sheathes drinking zones can be seen in the outdoor room adjoining the urban streetscape, amplifying the sense of place for sharing.
Some rustic original walls are deliberately remained untouched. R-BAS pays a humble tribute to the old indoor concrete framework by finishing the floor using quartz sand-contained rough concrete and sculpting a new wood-grain concrete bar counter in situ. This irregular structure that is cured and carved within a fir formwork the same width as the exterior yakisugi shows a stereotomic scenario of post-quarrying land art. Rendered by the remnants of time on its surface, the counter 'emerges' naturally from the earth. Two granite stones formed from cooled magma are laid 'randomly' on the ground floor as a side table and a stair step, further emphasising the notion of rock-cut landscape.
As one of the core design materials of the space, blackened hot rolled steel sheet is also intentionally utilised for its beauty of colour shift over natural ageing. A large-scale integrally welded complex extends from the mezzanine to the ground, altering and extruding up in form to function as balustrades, ceiling, staircase, storage room, cabinets and other bespoke furnitures. Two bijou double-height voids at the front and back of the 'box' at the mezzanine level arouses an indescribable monumental remembrance. The box seemingly floats above the space as a 30mm gap from the wall on its left and right sides is left by the designer. Suggesting a state of flux, the hot rolled steel structure is of a meandering metal ribbon ascending slowly in the focal centre of the project, contrasting with and complimenting the solid concrete underneath.
