Ed Killingsworth
First offering- The Alex & Luba Kadvany House | Killingsworth, Brady & Smith (1956). An early and remarkably intact example of the firms elegant California modernism - designed for an exuberant Central European emigre couple building a new home for their growing family. Just one block from the ocean on one of the last remaining vacant parcels in Bluff Park, Alex & Luba Kadvany tasked Edward Killingsworth and his newly formed architectural practice with building something distinctly different from the surrounding historic Spanish Revival, Tudor, & California Bungalow homes. Overcoming an early neighborhood objection, it became the first & only Bluff Park home to orient its garage to the front rather than towards the alley as was customary. Alex Kadvanys work as an obstetrician often required meeting patients at all hours, which proved to be a persuasive argument for the unconventional variance. The layout allowed Killingsworth to set the home back and raised up from the street behind a lush landscape, circular driveway, and a generously deep procession of aggregate paved steps and front landing. The design turns the home inward and away from public view - with only an unadorned white stucco facade, large shoji-screened window, & double-door entrance with glass transom facing the street. Just a few steps beyond the front door, Killingsworths mastery of space, scale and proportion becomes evident. The architect employed a signature move in the expansive foyer- an axis point that displays a graceful interplay of spaces and unobstructed interior and exterior views at each 90 degree turn you make. You can almost feel him directing you to stand in this spot- much as in his own home. What appears modest from the street now reveals itself in grandeur. Interiors and exteriors flow together, resulting in both the Kadvany homes functional use of space and a spirit-lifting serenity. An extraordinarily spacious open plan showcases the original owners joy in welcoming & enter
