Wow Space: A Mid-Century Masterpiece Born from Nature and Creativity in the Pacific Northwest

Nestled on twenty seven private acres on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula, Anker stands as a testament to thoughtful design, natural beauty, and creative inspiration. This mid-century masterpiece, crafted by Norwegian-influenced architect Anker I. Molver, offers a space that feels both timeless and contemporary. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime birthday party, seeking the perfect backdrop for your next photo shoot, or simply craving a contemplative retreat with your team, this Pacific Northwest sanctuary promises an experience that will leave you inspired and connected.

Molver drew inspiration from both his Norwegian roots as well as Japanese architectural principles when designing this stunning residence in 1962. The result is a blend of Scandinavian functionality and Eastern philosophy: every element serves both form and function in the home’s intentional design. In addition to floor-to-ceiling fir paneling and soaring ceilings, period furnishings by renowned artists like Gaetano Sciolari and Robyn Denny complement Molver’s architectural vision, leaving guests with something new to discover around every corner. 

The magic of Anker extends far beyond the walls of the home, however. Thoughtfully integrated artistic installations throughout the grounds celebrate local talent and the property’s natural setting, creating one-of-a-kind backdrops for outdoor wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. A collaborative water feature installation, created by owner and Peerspace host Matt Kelley, welder Jalen Carlson, and architect Michael Loverich, features eleven connected waterfalls flowing through repurposed industrial i-beams—a stunning example of how industrial elements can be transformed into something unexpectedly beautiful and become the perfect conversation piece for party guests. These installations don’t compete with the natural landscape; they enhance it, creating a dialogue between human creativity and the wild Pacific Northwest setting.

The beauty of Anker lends itself to a never-ending variety of events and creative shoots. Engaged couples find themselves drawn to the property’s natural beauty and design-forward aesthetic, where they host wedding ceremonies that feel both intimate and grand against the backdrop of twenty seven private acres. Anker works equally well for photo and video shoots looking for a location with a one-of-a-kind visual impact. The winding paths through gardens and lavender farms provide multiple backdrops within a single space, giving creatives flexibility to capture endless content without ever leaving the grounds. Whether you’re planning an elaborate celebration, looking to get inspired, or even just seeking a quiet space for reflection, Anker adapts to your vision without forcing you to compromise.

Anker prioritizes story, beauty, and genuine inspiration over fleeting trends. It’s a carefully crafted environment where architecture, art, and nature converge to create something truly special. Whether you’re drawn to the mid-century architectural details or the sprawling natural landscape, Anker offers experiences that linger long after guests return home.
