More Is More in This Gargantuan, Art-Filled House in the New York Suburbs Designing a 33,000-square-foot family home might seem daunting for some. Not for Delphine Krakoff. By Lauren Mechling Ngoc Minh Ngo Bank of America. Beyoncé. Bubble tea. Some things really are too big to fail. But bringing a 33,000-square-foot house to boisterous, unfussy life is no sure thing. Add to the mix a museum-quality art collection, 24-foot-high ceilings, and a private hockey arena, and you’re one misstep away from a residence that feels larger than livable, too imposing to greet visitors with a sweet embrace. In the main stair hall, the stainless-steel sculpture is by Tony Cragg, and the artwork is by George Condo.
