When these clients, two medical professionals raising three kids on the water, moved into their new build, the bones were there but the story wasn’t. So, they came to Pulp to find it. Pulp’s signature consultation process shaped a home that’s understated on the surface with real tension underneath: a hidden wine room, a home bar with a roll-up garage window, a reworked cellar pass-through, a black-and-white photograph by the client’s own father greeting guests at the door. Every detail a piece of who this family actually is.

Tucked just off the primary suite, this office gives two working professionals a quiet landing pad between shifts. Proof that even the busiest schedules deserve a beautiful place to land.

We can’t take credit for this one. The architecture team at Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl designed this bathroom to frame the lake views the whole home is built around. Our job was simply to make sure nothing got in the way of that vista.

An awkward under-stair void became one of our favorite surprises in the house: a hidden wine room disguised in wood paneling, leading down to the cellar below. It’s the kind of detail that turns a house tour into a story people repeat.
