Selected
an extraordinary space, an unconventional space
Using extraordinary in the sense of something not ordinary, not 'regulation.' I wanted to give drama to the description...
...an extraordinary space where the works of the artist are the main protagonists...
...an extraordinary space where the works of the artist are the main protagonists...

It doesn't mean "amazing" or "awe-inspiring", it just means a non-standard/nonconforming place

a unique space
My first option is "unconventional", but I believe "unique" would be a good alternative to describe the home of an artist.
