Delo House 3 is one of the studio’s standard timber-frame homes, delivered with fullinterior finishes and engineering systems, and furnished with original furniture and objects developed in-house. At the client’s request, the project also includes a detached annex with a kitchen-dining room and a bathroom.

The houseis located on a raised site near the Gulf of Finland. A larch-wood terraceconnects the main house to the annex, framing a small courtyard wherefruit-bearing plants will be added. The linear layout responds to the site’smaster plan, ensuring that all interior spaces enjoy views of the pine groveand the sea.

The mainhouse accommodates two bedrooms with built-in closets, a study, kitchen, livingroom, bathroom, guest toilet, entrance hall, and walk-in wardrobe. The annexfeatures a kitchen-dining space with a wood-fired stove and a compact bathroom.

The projectemploys high-quality, eco-conscious materials. The exterior is clad in cedarsiding, custom-milled exclusively for Delo House. The architectural design isbased on standard material dimensions to streamline construction and minimizewaste, ensuring resource efficiency. Delo approaches housebuilding with thesame precision and care it applies to furniture design — many structuralelements were specially developed and fabricated for this project.

The housestands on a reinforced concrete slab, with hydronic underfloor heating embeddedin the screed. Interiors feature cedar cladding and terrazzo tile flooring. Thebuilding is equipped with a smart ventilation system, and the windows areprotected with impact-resistant film.

All roomsinclude built-in wardrobes and kitchens, custom-made according to the studio’sdrawings. Freestanding furniture and household items are Delo’s own designs,produced in small series. One standout feature is a set of experimental diningchairs, developed in collaboration with Studio Eburet — their 3D-printed seatsare made from recycled plastic, reflecting the studio’s commitment tosustainable and responsible design.
