Design Intervention - Modern/Contemporary Design and Architecture

Louis Kahn’s Esherick house located just outside of Philadelphia will be auctioned off to the highest bidder on May 18th. The house stands as one of the most important houses realized by Kahn throughout his career, and is the first residence to illustrate his mature architectural ideals. The house will be offered in Wright’s Important Design sale with an estimate of $2-3 million.
