Site Name: Case Study “Triad” House A
Architect: Killingsworth, Brady & Smith
Year Designed/Built: 1960
Address: 2342 Rue de Anne
Comments: 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.

Site Name: Case Study “Triad” House B (Remodeled beyond recognition)
Architect: Killingsworth, Brady & Smith
Year Designed/Built: 1960
Address: 2343 Rue de Anne
Comments: 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.

Site Name: Case Study “Triad” House C
Architect: Edward Killingsworth, Brady & Smith
Year Designed/Built: 1960
Address: 2329 Rue de Anne
Comments: 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, and Case Study House #22 Point Loma.

Site Name: Oxley House
Architect: Richard J. Neutra (1892 - 1970)
Year Designed/Built: 1958
Address: 9302 La Jolla Farms Road
Comments: This Vienna-born, Los Angeles-based architect is the poster-boy for modernist architecture these days, what with his much sought-after residential designs fetching well over $400,000 (those without views!) from designers and movie stars alike. Despite remodeling efforts (as well as demolition plans), the original 1,800 sq. ft. structure is still intact. Hopefully, restoration plans by current resident (Thomas Massarat) will include the original roof overhangs and “spider-leg webbing” wooden trellises that leaped from the stuccoed wood-frame structure into the surrounding “entertaining” spaces. Oxley, a physicist at UCSD, and his wife Sue originally commissioned the modest house for an architect who’s aesthetic they admired. In turn, Neutra found this house design “especially interesting” and worked long hours on its plans.

Site Name: Pueblo Ribera Courts
Architect: RM Schindler
Year Designed/Built: 1923
Address: 230-48 Gravilla
Comments: The only example of Schindler’s work in San Diego, alludes to the master’s work in the Los Angeles area following his fellowship with Wright (his work on Wright’s “temple” concrete block houses brought him to Southern California). Appealing to the young modernists who came to California in the 1920s these dwellings work with the fascination with the mildness of the climate, life out of doors and the pueblo Spanish traditions of enclosed courtyards. Schindler arranged each living unit so that it had a courtyard and roof terrace above. The houses were built of slip-form concrete, and the roof pergola with its light wood detailing forms a strong contrast to the concrete walls below. Fortunately, the individual units are slowly being restored.
