Designed in 1963 by Pritzker Prize winning architect Philip Johnson with Richard Foster, the Kreeger residence was built on five and a half wooded acres overlooking the nation’s capital. The Kreegers were pillars of the Washington DC arts and cultural community, and their love of art, music and architecture resound throughout the building today.

Philip Johnson was in his late fifties when he designed the Kreeger residence in 1963. Philip Johnson, along with Henry Russell Hitchcock, is generally credited with discovering and defining the term "International Style".
