Fisher House

The Fisher house was designed by Louis Khan and built in 1967. The work is composed of two separate buildings, with one being two cubes intersecting at an odd angle. This makes all three buildings feel disconnected, this along with the natural hue of the building give it the feeling natural rock formations jutting from the earth. It doesn’t blend into nature like with the Kaufmann House, but rather creates a massive yet natural appearance. Another feature that gives the buildings a natural and uneven look (like the majority of rock formations), is the usage of different size, shape, and depth of the windows. This house also uses natural light, but it uses it in a much more direct and traditional manner than many of his buildings, in my opinion giving it more life. This house was designed to make you feel like you are living in a piece of nature, and it does this using natural light to create a home..
