Europe’s Most Stunning Homes Are Now Living Galleries of Bold Art
Some of Europe’s most striking homes are now doubling as living galleries. From a Venetian palazzo to a Swiss mountain castle, artists and designers have turned private spaces into dynamic showcases. These residences blend daily life with bold creative expression.
The transformations range from futuristic glass houses to historic fortresses, each reimagined with a distinct artistic vision.
In Venice, Luca Bombassei’s 4,300-square-metre palazzo apartment serves as a grand stage for furniture and art. The space, described as 'art-filled' in Architectural Digest, hosts pieces from renowned creators, though specific names remain undisclosed. Every corner appears curated, merging domestic comfort with high-end design.
High in the Swiss Alps, artist Not Vital revived two historic sites. Tarasp Castle, a medieval fortress, was carefully restored under his direction. Meanwhile, his childhood home in Sent became a livable sculpture, where architecture and art intertwine seamlessly.
Austria’s Hollenegg Castle took a different approach under Alice Stori Liechtenstein. Each year, she invites contemporary artists and designers to exhibit within its walls. The castle’s inner courtyard, with arcades echoing Graz’s Renaissance Landhaus, now frames modern works against centuries-old stone.
Outside Madrid, Casa Muñoz softened a stark glass house with warmth. Walnut panelling and a fireplace-bar transformed the futuristic shell into an inviting home. The design balanced sleek lines with organic textures, proving even radical structures can feel lived-in.
Berlin’s 'Party Apartment' by Tadan embraced flexibility. Sliding doors and movable walls allow the space to shift between intimate and expansive. The interiors also double as rotating galleries, displaying works by various artists in an ever-changing layout.
These projects prove that homes can be both personal sanctuaries and public-inspiring spaces. By opening their doors to art, the owners have redefined domestic living. The result is a new kind of cultural experience—one that unfolds within private walls but invites wider appreciation.
