Koblick House
Koblick House is one of fifteen winners honored with the 2024 Preservation Design Award. This project was a recipient in the Preservation or Restoration category. Award recipients are selected by a jury of top professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, planning, and history, as well as renowned architecture critics and journalists. Tickets and sponsorship options are available at californiapreservation.org/programs/awards/.
About Koblick House
The property was originally designed and built for local art professor Harry Koblick, a humble creative client of limited means in Silver Lake “a new neighborhood of Los Angeles that became a fertile ground for a budding Southern California Modernism and the locale of Neutra’s own home and practice. In the early 1950s, the Koblicks sold the house and it entered a decades long period of neglect as a rental property: we discovered the home in various stages of structural decline, with critical rot and water damage throughout. The owner and his team meticulously researched the history of the home in Neutra’s and Julius Shulman’s archives and other surviving works, and in the layers of paint and plaster and wood in the home itself to inform the decisions that were made in undertaking this extensive restoration that sought to honor and restore Neutra’s original design vision of 1937.
