DublDom

Year: 2018 / Architect: BIO-Architects / Lead Architects: Ivan Ovchinnikov, Pavel Sedov / Location: Kandalaksha, Murmansk Oblast, Russia • Text Source: ArchDaily

DublDom was created and installed as a gift for the town of Kandalaksha and for Alexander Trunkovkiy that have won the competition "Find your place 2016". The contestants had to show photos of their place and tell why DublDom should be installed there. The winner was chosen following the next criteria: future function of the house, social importance and life perception of the participant. We had more than 500 applications and we've chosen Alexander Trunkovkiy that has suggested to install DublDom at the hillock Volosyanaya near Kandalaksha and use it as a shelter for tourists and lovers of the active leisure.

The project is based on the standard modules of DublDom and the interior space was fully re-designed so it can be used in the mountains. It was only possible to install the house by using a helicopter, so the whole construction was made using the highest standards of durability and energy efficiency with the minimum weight at the same time. Due to combining high-tech materials we managed to halve the weight of the modules. The materials and the coating are calculated to be used at the low temperatures and high wind loads.
