Eclectic Pacific Northwest Sanctuary Designs: A Wildly Subjective and Mildly Inebriated Journey

submitted on 27 September 2023 by homeandgardenlistings.co.uk

Get Lost in the Woods, but Make It Fashion

Picture yourself in a lush, verdant Pacific Northwest forest. The trees are tall enough to block out all but the most tenacious rays of sun, the ground is damp and fertile, and the air is filled with the scent of nature in all its untamed glory. Now, imagine that you've decided to build a home in this primeval wilderness, and you are absolutely determined to make it clash with everything around it. Welcome to the world of eclectic Pacific Northwest sanctuary designs, where the rule is that there are no rules, and the only constant is that everything must be uniquely, delightfully strange.

A Lodge, but Like... an Alien Lodge

Let's begin our foray into the wilds of PNW design with a classic forest lodge, but with a twist. Instead of the traditional rustic log cabin look, this lodge would make E.T. feel right at home. The exterior is made of shimmering, iridescent materials that change color as the light shifts, while the windows are all unique, organic shapes that look like they were designed by a committee of space-faring amoebas. Inside, each room is decorated in a different out-of-this-world theme, from an undersea Atlantis-inspired bedroom to a bathroom that looks like it's been carved out of a meteorite. In this lodge, every day is an adventure in boldly going where no interior decorator has gone before.

The Subterranean Lair of Your Dreams

If you've ever had the desire to live like a mole person, but in the most stylish and well-appointed way possible, then this is the sanctuary design for you. Forget about building a house on top of the ground like some kind of peasant – you're going to tunnel your way into the very heart of the Earth itself. Your subterranean lair is all about taking full advantage of the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest, from the rich volcanic soil to the mineral-laden waters of underground springs. Walls made of living moss, floors paved in smooth river stones, and ceilings dripping with glittering stalactites – it's like being inside the world's most glamorous cave. Plus, with the added bonus of being located below the surface, you'll never have to worry about unexpected visitors (or the sun, for that matter).

Treehouses for Grown-Ups

  • Admit it: as a child, you dreamed of having the most amazing, multi-level treehouse to call your own. Well, now that you're an adult (or at least pretending to be one), it's time to make those dreams a reality. These treehouse sanctuaries are an ode to the trees themselves, seamlessly blending into the forest canopy with their sleek, modern design and environmentally friendly materials. Rather than simply building a house in the trees, imagine designing your home around them, allowing branches to wind their way through rooms, and using living trees as structural supports. The only downside is that you'll have to figure out how to make friends with the squirrels, because they're definitely going to be your neighbors.

Victorian Gothic Meets Steampunk Chic

Perhaps you're a fan of Tim Burton's aesthetic, or maybe you just really like the idea of living in a house that looks like it could be haunted. Whatever the case, this sanctuary design is for those of you who have always wanted to combine the grandiosity of Victorian Gothic architecture with the industrial whimsy of steampunk. Your home will be a towering masterpiece of wrought iron and weathered wood, complete with turrets, gargoyles, and steam-powered contraptions that serve no real purpose other than to look really, really cool. Inside, of course, the décor will be all about velvet and brass, dark corners lit by flickering gas lamps, and secret passageways that lead to mysterious rooms filled with curious artifacts. It's like living in a 19th-century novel, except with fewer consumption-induced deaths and a much better plumbing system.

Fungus Among Us: A Mycological Wonderland

Last but not least, we have the ultimate Pacific Northwest sanctuary design for the fungi enthusiast. Yes, mushrooms are having a moment in the world of interior design, and there's no better way to celebrate the wonders of mycology than by creating a home that looks like it's been colonized by a particularly ambitious colony of spores. From walls covered in towering, sculptural mushrooms to furniture made of mycelium, this sanctuary design is an ode to the humble fungus in all its myriad forms. Just make sure to double-check that none of your new decorative features are poisonous – that would certainly put a damper on your woodland retreat.So there you have it – a guide to the wildest and most eclectic sanctuary designs that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Whether you're searching for a home that's out of this world, or one that's almost too in touch with nature, there's a perfect sanctuary waiting for you out there in the woods. Just remember: the stranger, the better.
