Raich Residence
According to the owners of the nearby Siegel Residence designed by Rudolph in 1978, during a trip to meet them to discuss their project, Rudolph visited the site to see what was built instead of his design. Rudolph was upset to learn that the house had been built using his ideas and drawings, but the design was changed without consulting him and he had been told the project was never built.
Photos of what was built are in the ‘Completed Project’ project album below. The photos were taken by Molly Adams, a free-lance garden photographer who photographed hundreds of private and public gardens, many of them in the mid-Atlantic region, from the late 1950s through the mid-1990s. According to a description of them by Adams, “with a house designed by architect Paul Rudolph, this site took advantage of its seaside location in its landscape design and planting. The landscaping includes extensive use of beach grasses, pines, and native plants in a naturalized setting. Container gardening may be found in areas adjacent to the site's built structures.”
The Raich vacation house, facing the Atlantic Ocean, utilizes unfolding, large scale, prefabricated elements and will demonstrate the flexibility in plan and section of such units.
