Tumu Studio has designed a beautiful mountain escape to take advantage of the wondrous views of the Rocky Mountain Foothills, located in Boulder, Colorado. The design focuses on creating a soft, comfortable feel within the home that reflects the owners’ desire for a serene and intimate retreat.
A 30-foot wide operable glass wall was integrated into the design to take advantage of the fabulous Colorado weather while enhancing the breathtaking view of the Flatiron Mountain range. The wall creates a seamless transition between interior and exterior and floods the interior of the living room with natural light.
What We Love: This fabulous mountain getaway home is the perfect escape for a family to relax and spend quality time together. We are loving the breathtaking mountain views and the wonderful indoor-outdoor connection. The movie room and the reading nook built under the staircase are also fantastic design features that are perfect for family entertainment. Overall, this home was designed to feel comfortable and offer a respite from the everyday.

The dwelling is brimming with warm, comfortable materials and personal touches. Every surface, art piece, and furnishing was thoughtfully considered.
One of the more fun pieces designed for this mountain retreat is a reading and play pod that was built into a recess under the main stairway. Crafted from fiberglass and coated with specialty Venetian plaster, the pods were created to be comfortable and durable enough to hold up to the punishment that the boys in the family dish out. The cave-like interior was ergonomically designed for both kids and adults to lounge in. Filled with pillows, it’s a fantastic spot to read a book or take a nap.
There is just one place in the house to watch television and movies, but what a place it is. The entertainment room was designed for everything from family movie night to sports event watching. This space is decked out with traditional furnishings on a custom tiered platform in lieu of typical ‘home movie theater’ type seating to make the space feel homier and more comfortable. The backside of the viewing platform features a bar with additional seating.
Just like most homes, the entry that gets the most use by the family is not the formal one. To ensure that the ‘real’ entry was as nice as the one that the guests use, the project team created a mudroom with custom millwork cubbies for each family member.
