 arda Kaiser hoped she didn’t need to
search Seattle for a big-name architect
to build a cutting-edge house in
Bellingham. Her hunch proved right. By looking
to local talent, she and her husband, Greg,
created a stunning yet intimate home that
showcases spectacular views and regional art.When the Kaisers, who both work in the industrial food ingredient business, purchased their Edgemoor lot in 1996, it included finished house plans. But the site, hovering high atop a rock-covered hill, proved too much for the somewhat staid blueprints, which were meant for flat land. So the couple hired Bellingham’s Zervas Group Architects to design a home to spotlight their collection of Northwest paintings. “When I first started, I asked them for three bedrooms, two baths and a place to hang the bit of art that I've collected,” recalls Marda Kaiser. What evolved was a striking contemporary Northwest home mixing glass, steel, concrete, wood and natural stone. “I ended up with so many walls, I had to get more art,” she says with a laugh. |
