Case Study “Triad”
House A - standing
2342 Rue de Anne, 1960
One of three related houses where the earlier Arts & Architecture
puritanical vocabulary of post, beam and glass are now played off
against water (reflecting pond). One of only three (hence “Triad”)
San Diego examples of the 36-building Case Study program sponsored
by Arts & Architecture magazine editor John Entenza and USC’s
School of Architecture (1945 -’66) to promote modernism as a
stylish, livable architectural form. Situated three feet below street
level, House A’s 10-foot front door is reached via a pre-cast
concrete path floated over a shallow reflecting pool. This 6-room
modified U-plan is the most complex of the three resawn tongue and
groove redwood boarding houses decoratively enhanced by the (wood
and steel) post and beam (laminated wood) motif.
Case Study “Triad”
House B - remodeled beyond recognition
2343 Rue de Anne, 1960
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath house was originally designed (in fir boarding)
such that all of its rooms were arranged around courts and a loggia
enabling its occupants to reach any room without crossing another.
Case Study “Triad”
House C - standing
2329 Rue de Anne, 1960
The simplest plan of the three, House C engages the visitor, with
according to Killingsworth, “an elusive, friendly quality.”
Each room is extended by a focal point or view through glass (such
as the inner loggia/courtyard/garden, as well as outdoor space) and
its 10-foot ceilings. Killingsworth, a graduate of USC’s School
of Architecture (1940), was the recipient of many national and international
awards for the “Triad” houses, as well as for his Case
Study House #25 Riva Alto Canal house
Case Study House
#22 - unbuilt project
