The award-winning Morton and Lenore Weiss House designed by world renowned architects Louis Kahn and Anne Tyng. Adjacent to the fireplace rests a rare look into a hand-painted mural by Louis Kahn of Pennsylvania farmland after the house was completed (and including an abstract depiction of Weiss Family’s beloved black-and-white Dalmatian dog).

For a look at Kahn closer to home, make an appointment to visit his magnificent Class of 1945 Library at Phillips Exeter.

Architects in planning rooms today have forgotten their faith in natural light. Depending on the touch of a finger to a switch, they are satisfied with static light and forget the endlessly changing qualities of natural light, in which a room is a different room every second of the day. — Louis Kahn

You say to brick, “What do you want, brick?” Brick says to you, “I like an arch.” — Louis Kahn.
