Art House by Charles Rose Architects living room

Art House

4 of 8

In this Charles Rose Architects–designed home, the owners’ art stands as the centerpiece with gallery spaces created to adapt to a rotating collection. The residence is accessed via a private elevator that opens up to a sequence of art spaces—a strategic experience that brings visitors through the collection before introducing another visual element: views of the Mississippi River and the St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. The museum-like abode was designed for entertaining with large living and dining areas, while more intimate spaces like the library offer a quiet place to recharge.
