Projects can evolve and change, and Pulp loves to work with our clients through every phase and process. For this 1980s Seattle home, the client originally brought our team in to update the furnishings for a more modern and cool style. The client was so happy with the results that she decided she wanted to renovate the home to make the spaces more functional and updated. Pulp planned an innovative redesign that transformed the home into a stunning “modern treehouse” that has a warmth and an edgy elemental style.

With floor-to-ceiling windows, the home is flooded with natural light. Pulp selected furnishings and finishes that would complement the modern architecture, but would also offer an organic style inspired by the trees and views just outside.

Pulp layered neutral tones and lush textures throughout the living spaces. Curves and soft shaping balance the sharp lines and angles of the architecture. And the interiors are more defined and functional for the family.

In the formal living room, Pulp opened up the partition wall that separated the family room and kitchen from the living room, creating more space and flow within the interiors. The furniture is neutral but has an edge to it, and the natural textures of concrete and wood are highlighted with soft textiles and metals.

The original kitchen was very stark and had drab-colored cabinets and walls. Pulp’s renovation included new cabinetry in a warm wood that reflected an updated organic style for this modern house in the trees. Stone with natural striations complement the elemental tones in the space.
