Etan Does LA 149: Killingsworth, Brady & Smith Office (Long Beach) | Los Angeles architecture

The early work of Edward Killingsworth is quintessential mid-century modernism. In the 1950s and ‘60s, the Long Beach architect and his firm with Jules Brady and Waugh Smith honed the classic post and beam aesthetic into 3D poetry. Their best creations, like the Opdahl House and the Frank House (one of four residences Killingsworth designed for the Case Study House program), created sanctuaries out of right angles, high ceilings, open plans, expansive glass and natural light. But one of the purest distillations of Killingsworth's design philosophy can be seen in this office he designed for his own firm in 1955. Let's take a look at it!
