Dorich House on Kingston Vale in Kingston upon Thames, London is the former studio-home of the sculptor, artist and designer Dora Gordine (1895 –1991) and her husband the Hon. Richard Hare (1907–1966), a diplomat, academic and art collector.

The building was designed by Gordine to meet her requirements as a professional artist and incorporates two large studios and a gallery. Completed in 1936, the year of their marriage, the house was named Dorich for Dora and Richard. Hare gifted Dorich House and its land to his wife in 1947.

Dorich House was the couple’s home throughout their marriage, during which they built up a large collection of Russian art with the aim of leaving it to the nation to further public knowledge of Russian art and culture. After Hare’s death in 1966, Gordine tried to secure the future of her home as a museum. When she died the house was in need of major repair and the prospect of realising this ambition seemed uncertain.

Dorich House was gifted to Kingston University in 1994 and the building was renovated fully to bring it into university and public use. Since then research at Kingston University has established the significance of Gordine’s contribution to twentieth-century art, design and architecture.

Now a museum, Dorich House is not only architecturally significant and a Grade II-listed building but also notable internationally as one of only a few studio-house museums dedicated to the life and work of a woman artist. The museum holds the largest collection of Gordine’s work, much of which she created at Dorich House, and items from Gordine and Hare’s Russian art collection.
