About This Venue
Dorich House is a remarkable Art Deco mansion built in 1936, now serving as both a museum and distinctive event venue. This Grade II* listed building was the former home and studio of Russian sculptor Dora Gordine and her husband Richard Hare. The venue offers elegant reception spaces with period features, including the spectacular studio room with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views. Located within Kingston University's campus in Kingston Vale, the house provides a unique cultural setting for corporate events, exhibitions, and private functions. The venue combines historical significance with modern facilities, featuring carefully preserved interiors showcasing Gordine's sculptures and the couple's extensive art collection.
