Project Overview

A four-story cabin near Fairplay, designed by BOSS Architecture as principal Kevin Stephenson’s family retreat, with interiors by Jessica Doran Interior. Kevin built much of it himself and fabricated the steel, from the mezzanine to the open stair.

Near-black oak runs floor to ceiling in the kitchen and the bedroom wardrobes, letting the steel, the stone and the forest carry the rooms. A second phase added media lockers, open shelving and bed rails.
