Beautiful set of four geometric Art Nouveau houses, quite extravagant, posed in mirror, the two extremes are identical as are the two central twins too.
Designed by the Wouters Brothers in 1911.
The facades are made of yellow, black bricks and hard stone. The architects imagined extraordinary masonry work creating an exceptional decorative canvas.
The two side facades have a very geometric ironwork balcony, while the central facades have an imposing loggia. The two windows on the ground floor are typical with their horseshoe arch and the play of colored bricks.
Also note the work of the cornices and the two triangular pediments ending in pilasters with geometric shapes, announcing art deco.
The whole was classified in April 1984
