Matt Kahn Residence, Stanford, CA

After Matt’s death, his son and daughter, Ira and Claire, contacted me to photograph his house. They wanted to record it as he left it, with his artwork and collections in place. Matt taught art and design at Stanford University for 60 years. He and their mother Lyda designed interiors for most of Joseph Eichler’s model homes. The house was built for them in 1959 and was designed by A. Quincy Jones. It’s not often you see a Mid-Century modern house filled with a lifetime of collecting, exquisitely selected and artfully displayed.
