Varpullan estate – a home and workspace as unique as it gets

Posted on Tue, 24 Sep 2024 by KiM

I am trying to put some coherent words together after picking my jaw up off the floor. I have to say it…..this is the coolest home I have ever featured on the blog. This is so epic on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin. I love this so damn much. I keep picturing Rick Owens strutting around in here, maybe holding a fashion show up and down these hallways. INCREDIBLE! The Varpullan estate is located on the Dutch, Belgian and German border and is currently for sale here. (And thank you Dave for sending us this link!)
Varpullan is the name of the astonishing world of sculptor Arthur Spronken. This unique, temple-like residential complex on a plot of over 2 hectares, includes a villa/loft, studio, workshop, storage depot and company house, and is entirely his own creation – a work of art to live and work in! The name Varpullan is an ode to his wife, the Finnish artist Varpu Tikanoja. This is the life’s work of Arthur Spronken and Varpu Tikanoja. In addition to the living area, the complex also includes the workshop, the exhibition space, the storage depot and a company house. The living area is 810 m², the workshop and warehouse area is no less than 560 m² and the covered outdoor area covers another 267 m². All in all, it has a gross capacity of 5,824 m³.

Someone lives there? Wow! I would have thought it was an art museum. I hope whoever buys it, buys everything in it and changes nothing and turns it into a museum so the world can visit and see it all in person!
