A typology of cabin, a tiny house lost in the wilderness, is a must in contemporary architecture. Hidden from curious gazes, it embodies a dream of a rural lifestyle combined with urban comfort. That is exactly how we envisioned The Cabin – a prefab compact house assembled at our own Delo manufacture in St. Petersburg, Russia. Equipped with the essentials and almost ready to use, the unit is then delivered right to the site.

The Cabin is easy to transfer and install, thus minimizing the intrusion into the surrounding landscape. The unit is a plug-and-live solution: it is simply connected to utility systems and ready to house its inhabitants.

The Cabin's architecture is shaped by the key values of Delo which are functionality, technology and cost-effectiveness. On top of that, the house is eco-friendly: the unit itself is built solely from ecological and safe materials like soft wood planken board. Various structural components were designed and produced individually for the project.

Due to its minimalistic design and simple geometry, The Cabin easily fits into any natural setting which can be enjoyed through its panoramic window. Visually enlarging the volume, the glazing also lets a massive amount of natural light in.

Opened to various functional scenarios, The Cabin serves as an ideal home for a couple, a guest house or a unit of an out-of-town modular inn. Its modest layout of 11,2 m2 features a kitchenette, a dining zone, a wardrobe, a foldable bed combined with a storage space and a half-bath with a shower. The furniture, linens and tableware that come together with the house are also created and produced by Delo.
