The Rachofsky House — The House

THE RACHOFSKY HOUSE

The construction of the house began in the fall of 1993, and Howard Rachofsky moved in three years later in the fall of 1996.

The north staircase, seen here at right, is cantilevered off the north end of the granite podium, extending towards the pond and red oak trees.

The house is designed to incorporate the two large red oak trees, seen here at left. Richard Long's <i>Rochechouart Circle</i> (1990), and Liz Larner's <i>2 as 3 and Some Too...</i> (1999), are installed in the back yard here.

The Rachofsky House is the private home and contemporary art collection of Cindy and Howard Rachofsky. The house aims to offer a unique experience with contemporary art and architecture through Richard Meier's building, the rotating installations inside and the outdoor sculptural works, most of which are site-specific.
