About this home

This is not just a home — it is a sculptural manifesto, born from a rare collaboration between one of the country’s leading modern architecture firms, a visionary interior designer, two design-forward owners with uncompromising clarity, and one of Kansas City’s premier builders. Set on 1.4 private, wooded acres in the heart of Mission Hills, this home is an immersive study in stillness and form. White brick, limestone, steel, and wood compose a restrained material palette that feels both elemental and refined — a modern expression of timelessness. The architectural concept unfolds through three distinct structures, gracefully connected by a palazzo-like promenade — a street within the home that invites movement, rhythm, and reflection. Light animates every surface. Gallery-scale walls give space to art and thought, while intimate rooms offer places to rest, gather, and simply be. This is not a house you simply walk through — it’s a home you feel. A living work of art shaped by vision, precision, and a reverence for beauty that never demands attention — only presence.
