Architect Paul Vizzavona, who was once Horta's assistant, designed this beautiful facade in 1907, in a refined Art Nouveau style very inspired by Horta (who also sued him for plagiarism for another project).
The doors and windows are framed with elegant scrollwork in Euville stone (Victor Horta's favorite stone).
Beautiful front door with handle/mailbox and a beautiful ornate stained glass window.
The ironwork takes up the same motifs as those made for other houses by the architect, simple, elegant, vegetal lines, or representing a butterfly. His signature is easily recognizable.
