Bobertz Residence by Craig Ellwood (1953). Photo ©Darren Bradley The Bobertz Residence is the only home designed by Craig Ellwood (with Ernie Jacks and Jerrold Lomax) in San Diego County. The young couple who commissioned it - Gerry & Charles Bobertz - had recently arrived from upstate New York by way of a brief stint in the SF Bay area. They were avid fans of John Entenza's Arts & Architecture magazine, and chose Ellwood as the architect of their new home after seeing his work in the Case Study House Program. And indeed, this could easily have been one of the homes featured in that program. Photo ©Darren Bradley The house is a perfect time capsule of today - beautifully restored to better than new condition. In fact, the current owners, Keith & Jessica York, have done a truly amazing job. And there was plenty to do. View of one of the guest/children's bedrooms out to the courtyard.

Photo ©Darren Bradley When Keith bought the house in 2000, it had been through a series of owners and tenants, had been heavily modified from its original design. The patio courtyard above (and below) had been totally enclosed to create another bedroom and much of the original character, fixtures, etc. had long since been erased by layers of change.

Photo ©Darren Bradley In fact, it was even being used as a mini-dorm for students at the nearby SDSU. They did not treat the house kindly. But Keith painstakingly brought the house back, one step at a time. He removed the addition - taking away square feet in the process, something a realtor will usually tell you not to do. And referring to the original plans and design, he was able to recreate a lot of what was missing and what had changed. In fact, he even added in some elements of the original design that had been dropped for budget reasons during original construction. The kitchen had to be completely rebuilt, using designs consistent with the rest of the house. Photo ©Darren Bradley And as icing on the cake, Keith and Jessica have filled the house with beautiful original modernist furniture and artwork from local artists of the time period. Living area.

The sculptural plants - including many succulents - provide an excellent contrast to the sharp lines of the house. Keith surveying his domain. Photo ©Darren Bradley An urban oasis.
