Fisher House, Residential building in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, US.

The Fisher House consists of two cubic volumes intersecting at 45 degrees, featuring deep-set windows and cypress wood cladding on a stone foundation.

Louis Kahn designed and built this residence between 1960 and 1967 for Dr. Norman Fisher and his wife Doris with an initial budget of $45,000.

The structure demonstrates Kahn's architectural principles of geometric forms, with each room maintaining its distinct shape and purpose within the residential layout.

The house contains integrated storage solutions and window benches, while the deep-set windows regulate sunlight during different seasons.

The building features a living room cube with a stone fireplace that separates the kitchen area, positioned at a calculated angle to the private sleeping quarters.
