Delo House 4 applies Delo studio’s custom fittings

Russian design studio Delo constructs its largest serially-produced frame house ‘Delo House 4’ in St. Petersburg, equipping it with signature custom-made furnishings, household items, and appliances. The residence is built on-site using frame technology applying some pre-manufactured elements and sustainable materials of high quality throughout. The frame consists of dry-planed softwood boards, and both exterior and interior walls are finished with cedar. All planks are fabricated individually with a special profile as the entire woodwork procedure is held by Delo. The planning follows a considerate process reducing construction waste and costs. The reinforced concrete slab with built-in utilities serves as a foundation.

The interior arrangement plans out four bedrooms, a spacious living room and an open-plan kitchen, two bathrooms, a boiler room, an entrance hall, and a hallway with a roof window. The layout obtains a symmetric scheme with parts grouped around the hallway mirrored on the other side according to the master plan. Each room provides storage space built-in closets and a mezzanine above the bedrooms.

the frame house’s interior provides energy-efficient solutions

The project includes all networks and equipment, such as ventilation and underfloor water heating as an energy-efficient solution for the frame house. Due to terrazzo tiles, the floor is effectively heated and cools down for an extended period. The exterior walls and roof are, also, counter-insulated, and the thickness of the building envelope is calculated with low temperatures in mind. The interior partitions are reinforced with plywood for noise insulation. The house is fully equipped with Delo studio‘s signature furniture and household items, as well as appliances. The kitchen and cabinets are custom designed and produced. The lighting system organizes LED fixtures into different power groups, while window panes and aluminum-framed doors are protected with armored impact-resistant film. The panoramic window in the living room consists of sliding segments and connects the home space with the outdoor terrace.
