Perched atop a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this new residence adds a modern twist to the classic Shingle Style. The house is anchored to the land by stone retaining walls made entirely of granite taken from the site during construction. Clad almost entirely in cedar shingles, the house will weather to a classic grey.

Archaeo Architects
The climax of the recent movie ”Haywire” took place at the Greene residence, which Archaeo Architects designed. Several movie critics have taken notice of the home featured in the film. Below are some quotes from those reviews:
“wonderfully cinematic and conveniently isolated house in New Mexico” New York Times
“a New Mexico house to-die-for” Movie Web
“gorgeous modernist home in the New Mexico hills” Film Journal
“the last scene is set in an architecturally stunning stone house in New Mexico” Bolingbrook
“a beautiful modernistic New Mexico house worthy of a Hitchcock movie” Film Leaf
“a sprawling New Mexico house that looks like it owes something to Frank LloydWright” Montreal Gazette
At the end of filming, the director, Steven Soderbergh, told the owners, Steve and Ann Greene, “You are going to like your house in this movie. Your house is a character in this movie!”

Moore Architects, PC
Originally built in the 1940’s as an austere three-bedroom
partial center-hall neo-colonial with attached garage, this
house has assumed an entirely new identity. The transformation
to an asymmetrical dormered cottage responded to the
architectural character of the surrounding City of Falls Church
neighborhood.
The family had lived in this house for seven years, but
recognized that the plan of the house, with its discreet
box-like rooms, was at odds with their desired life-style. The
circulation for the house included each room, without a
distinct circulation system. The architect was asked to expand
the living space on both floors, and create a house that unified
family activities. A family room and breakfast room were
added to the rear of the first floor, and the existing spaces
reconfigured to create an openness and connection among
the rooms. An existing garage was integrated into the house
volume, becoming the kitchen, powder room and mudroom.
Front and back porches were added, allowing an overlap of
family life inside the house and outside in the yard.
Rather than simply enlarge the rectangular footprint of the
house, the architect sought to break down the massing with
perpendicular gable roofs and dormers to alleviate the roof
line. The Craftsman style provided texture to the fenestration.
The broad roof overhangs provided sun screening and
rain protection. The challenge of unifying the massing led
to the development of the breakfast room. Conceived as a
modern element, the one-story massing of the breakfast
room with roof terrace above twists the volume 45% to the
mass of the main house. Materials and detailing express the
distinction. While the main house is clad in the original brick
and new horizontal siding with trim and details appropriate
to its cottage vocabulary, the breakfast room exterior is clad
in vertical wide-board tongue-and-groove siding to minimize
the texture. The steel hand railing on the roof terrace above
accentuates the clean lines of this special element.
