At the time,the couple was deeply embedded in the creative fiber of mid-century modern Los Angeles.Attracted to the iconoclastic personality of Craig Ellwood, and cutting-edge work of his firm,the Kublys selected Ellwood to design a modern residence to house their growing family.Working in wood and glass, Ellwood rendered a transparent horizontal box andelevated it like a pavilion amidst the massive gum and oak trees shading the site. Theresulting post and beam structure proved fitting for the Pasadena neighborhood wherehis contemporaries, several of them also Case Study architects, practiced their craft.The Kublys, satisfied in their working relationship with Ellwood, were instrumental in hiring himto design Art Center's hillside campus when the college relocated to Pasadena.
