Fours Bakery Signature | Mor studio

Fours Bakery was conceived as an “open bakery workshop” – a space where the process of making becomes a language of human connection. Located in a restored French colonial villa in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the project stands at the intersection of memory, time, and craftsmanship.

The Concept Behind Fours Bakery
Rather than reconstructing the past, the design seeks to reinterpret it — allowing the house to “breathe” again through light, transparency, and the rhythm of contemporary life.

Materiality and Light in Fours Bakery
Guided by a spirit of honesty and simplicity, the space reveals its structure and material essence: raw textures are preserved, boundaries between inside and outside are softened, and natural light animates the architecture throughout the day. Here, architecture is not a static backdrop but a living structure, where people connect through daily rituals — baking, sharing, and simply being present together.

Fours Bakery is a humble experiment, yet it embodies a belief that architecture can hold both social and emotional meaning — a place where culture, craftsmanship, and modern life coexist naturally and enduringly.
