Welcome to Artery House, a residence that transcends the simple definition of home. This project is a living testament to the marriage of contemporary architecture and art, where the art collection is the pulsating life force that animates every room. Picture yourself walking through a space that is more than just a house; it’s an immersive artistic experience.

Artery House, designed by the renowned architectural firm Hufft, is the dream come true of a couple who repeatedly ranks among the top 200 contemporary art collectors in the world. This 10,650-square-foot residence in Kansas City, Missouri, is a celebration of art in all its forms, from paintings and sculptures to photographs. Art is the heart of this house, flowing like vital blood through its ‘arteries.’

As you enter the house, you are immediately enveloped by an underground gallery space that houses an impressive collection of artworks. Every detail has been meticulously planned, from specific lighting to climate control, ensuring the preservation of these precious pieces. These art-filled walls provide moments of contemplation where your imagination is free to wander.

Artery House unfolds around three triple-height atriums affectionately called ‘arteries.’ These spaces are not just passageways; they are living galleries, brimming with art that extends from the basement to the two upper floors. It’s as if the house itself breathes art.

On the upper level, you’ll find five luxurious bedrooms, elegantly appointed offices for him and her, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a dining room that are artworks in themselves. The living spaces seem to float, enveloped in cedar and aluminum, creating a sense of lightness and harmony.

The connection to nature is also a striking feature of this house. The landscaping and outdoor spaces blur the boundaries between the residential environment and a sculpture garden. Large-scale sculptures are strategically placed, creating moments of surprise and admiration along the terraces and around the backyard pool.

Villa Pizzorusso

One of the most remarkable Puglia villa rentals available, this restored 16th-century masseria (fortified farmhouse) stands proudly on the ancient Appian Way. If you are looking for a luxurious holiday retreat brimming with character and history, this stunning property is for you. Deep in the countryside and surrounded by olive groves, Villa Pizzorusso is the ideal place to get away from it all. The secluded gardens, filled with orange trees and aromatic herbs, are wonderfully private, and you’ll love the magnificent 80 ft (25 m) swimming pool. Enjoy a morning coffee or early evening aperitif on the extensive first-floor terrace and take in the views across the peaceful landscape. The character of the grand old masseria is still in evidence throughout. Enter the interior through the arched portal and step into a world of barrel-vaulted ceilings, stone arches and a wealth of period details that wouldn’t look out of place on a film set. Different parts of the building date from different eras: the main wing, complete with five cupolas and frescoed ceilings, was added in the 18th century, while the main living area – including an open-plan kitchen – is located within the 17th-century stables. There’s plenty of space to accommodate up to twelve guests. Each bedroom is air-conditioned and simply furnished with neutral tones and traditional wood furniture, while the bathrooms feature striking contemporary fixtures. Four of the bedrooms are located in the main villa with the two upstairs bedrooms having private entrances and secluded access from the ground floor, while two more are located in a smaller stone building in the courtyard. There is much to see and do in the area – from the beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, to the whimsical conical architecture of the local trulli dwellings. Gourmet travelers should stop at the charming local market town of Mesagne, with its bakeries, wine co-ops and cheese shops (the fresh mozzarella and ricotta are made daily). Puglia is also rich in picturesque medieval cities, such as Ostuni and Otranto, their atmospheric narrow streets lined with an abundance of restaurants specializing in the delectable local cuisine.
