Ensemble Art déco, rue Medaets 29-33

Group of three similar Art Deco houses, of two bays and three storeys under flat roofs, built by the general contractor Jules Blaton; the 1928 plans bear the barely legible signature of the architect J. Vankriekinge. The rendered façades, on a base of white rubble stone, have pilasters, originally of exposed brick, flanking the upper-floor openings. Each ground floor combines a central entrance door, a garage door under an oblong fanlight and a mullioned window; the decoration includes panels with stylised flowers and fruit and iron railings with scrolls. Nos 29 and 31 have symmetrical upper floors, the second floor beneath a stepped frieze of bricks on edge, while no. 33 has a trapezoidal single-storey bay under a terrace. The entrance doors survive; the group is recorded in the inventory of architectural heritage.
