William V. Kaeser (1906-1995), was an American architect and a contemporary of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose buildings are primarily in Madison, Wisconsin. A number of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architecture. Kaeser designed in the Usonian style, drafting buildings that deliberately appear to spring organically from the terrain[1]. His work is mainly residential, although he also designed university buildings and park shelters, among others. He has repeatedly been called "one of the cities most distinguished modern architects"[2]
Architecture
Kaeser houses are often made of limestone walls with horizontal board and batton. He favored dark brown wood for accents. [3] Molding his designs in the vein of Frank Lloyd Wright, he tended to employ geometric designs like triangles and squares, repeating them throughout his houses and eves. Kaeser paid special attention to terraced landscaping outside of the structures, ensuring the structures appear to grow organically from the earth. They often feature bands of windows, twide overhanging eaves, shallow-pitched hip main roofs, and massive masonry chimneys.
Kaeser designed the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison which sits directly on the water of Lake Mendota [4].
Notable houses include the Philip H. and Margaret Gray Jr. House, which is on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places. [5] The house was constructed in 1940 and was described as "the largest and one of the finest Modern Movement style houses" in its nomination to the state. Other houses, including the Kaeser house at 3505 Blackhawk can be found in the Shorewood Historic District.[6]
Personal Life
Kaeser was born on a farm in Greenvillie Illinois. He studied at MIT before working for Eliel Saarinen at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He moved to Madison in 1935, where he opened up the architectural practice where he would work until his death in 1995[7]. Kaeser was a director of the Wisconsin Architects Association [8]. The Center for Limnology has a scholarship named after him.[9]
