for $23,000,000 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, 4 half baths. This 9,062 square foot home was built in 1996 on a lot size of 3.204.
Any structure can house a work of art — only a few can become it. Designed by Richard Meier, The Rachofsky House reframes the relationship between a home and its inhabitants. This iconic Dallas residence is an invitation to realize beauty, to explore abstraction, and to become, in a quiet way, part of its evolving composition. Meier's characteristically white, metal-paneled house appears almost suspended above a black-granite podium. Beyond, ancient oaks and a gently sloping lawn frame a lagoon-like pond. '[The house] unfolds as a kind of procession through a series of zones,' says Meier, 'taking one from the outdoors to indoors, and then back outdoors again…grass, trees, pond and sky are visible from every angle of the house.' From the entry gallery, you move past a glass-enclosed stairwell toward the dining area, where floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a lush, evolving backdrop. Volumes open into one another: a soaring double-height living room, a removed primary suite, and a suspended study overlooking the grounds. Outside, a black granite patio, reflecting pool, and private lake extend the architecture into nature, blurring where dwelling ends and landscape begins. And yet, it is light that emerges as the home's most profound guide. As the day unfolds, sunlight moves through the space like a steady docent — casting shadows, illuminating details, and transforming familiar rooms into living, changing forms. More than a feat of architecture, the Rachofsky House is attuned to the understated rituals of daily life, delicately balancing public grandeur and private intimacy. As Meier himself reflected, 'the purpose of the house is to provide a place of residence and respite…a catalyst for further contemplation of nature and art, and the science of bringing them together in harmony.' When art is so often meant to be admired from a distance, the Rachofsky House invites you into the frame — tempering the boundary between observer and masterpiece.
