Sidney Kahn House, Modernist residence in Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, US.

The four-story Sidney Kahn House features multiple south and east-facing balconies offering views of San Francisco's Financial District and East Bay.

In 1940, Austrian architect Richard Neutra completed this steel and wood-framed residence for stockbroker Sidney Kahn on Calhoun Terrace.

The interior design incorporates Japanese ash and Philippine mahogany built-ins, along with custom furniture including a transformable dining and coffee table.

The top floor contains the living room and bar area, while the middle floors house bedrooms with outdoor terraces overlooking the Oakland Bridge.

The vertical structure emerges from a rocky outcropping, demonstrating Neutra's architectural approach to integrating buildings with their natural environment.
