A Colorado Mullet House Hides Its Wild Side Behind a Traditional Facade

A steel-and-wood built-in "shoe drop" cabinet at the top of the stairs prevents things from piling up at the top step. As the design progressed, the home became more thoroughly "built-in," and nearly every room has custom features, including desks, windows seats, benches, cabinets, and panelling. "This is an echo of the many craftspeople who set up shop in the nearby homes in the district 100 years ago, installing custom wood panels, handrails, built-ins, and bookshelves," says architect Nicholas Fiore.
