This prolific partnership designed more than 500 residences and commercial buildings in the California, Hawaii, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Quebec, and El Salvador. Their design helped define Second Bay Tradition, which combined International Style with Northern California's regional vernacular and wood materials. Kruse moved to Carmel after his retirement, living in one of the three houses, nicknamed "Three Sisters", designed by his partner Henry Hill on the same block, along with one of their former associates. Kruse's archive was donated by his family upon his death to the Environmental Design Archives at UC Berkeley. (en)
