Categories / Architecture/Personalia
Rochefort Konstanin Nikolaevich de (1875, St. Petersburg - 1961). Count, engineer and architect. Son of N.I. de Rochefort. Graduated from the Civil Engineers Institute (1900); served as an architect for the city administration. Rochefort designed the S. Esders and K. Skheifals trade building (15/73 Moika River Embankment, 1906-1907, together with V.A. Lipsky), using a metal framework that is an important example of a modern, "rational", proto-Constructivist Art Nouveau style. Other buildings constructed by Rochefort include apartment houses designed in the Art Nouveau and Neoclassical styles, particularly ones at 156 Tenth Line of Vasilievsky Island (1908); 5 Ispolkomskaya Street (1910-1911); 32 and 34 Karpovka River Embankment, (1910-1912); and 39/24 Mytninskaya Street (1911-12). After 1921, he lived in France.
