A new deck made of garapa, a sustainable, rot-resistant tropical wood, has a woodburning hot tub from Goodland.

This prized Boulder residence pairs a jet-black exterior with over 5,000 square feet of luminous living space.

The paved side yard with a translucent roof sheet acts as a landing pad for the family’s ride-on toys, while a slatted frame keeps the space from seeming too cluttered.

The board-form concrete of the support helps to frame the built-in shelving.

Like the flooring and the shelves, the window frames are crafted from Western Red Cedar.

Sharon and Mike Matas use the studio to design, create, and research.

One of the concrete supports rises from a steep hillside and stands among surrounding trees.

Pocket doors delineate the fully remodeled bedroom and bath in the primary suite.

The expanded kitchen has a large central island, with room for prep, seating, storage, and cooking. The cabinetry is a mix of wood, Shinnoki Milk Oak, and white fronts, Fenix NTM Bianco Kos. The terrazzo counters are by Concrete Collaborative. There are two types of tiles: the Mutina Rombini fluted tile on the island and Cepac Krave Sugar Tiles on the backsplash. “It looks very mid-century modern,” says Blaine of the backsplash tile. “But in this application, it also adds that little touch of depth that I think is really important to making the house feel interesting.” The counter stools are from Hay.

Clients can customize the cabin's exterior, making it out of wood or steel.

All the Shackup cabins also come with private, wood-fired hot tubs.
