Ensemble de logements sociaux, rue du Champ de la Couronne 36-48

A group of five Art Deco social housing blocks, some with shops on the ground floor, designed in 1929 by the architect François Van Stichel for the Foyer Laekenois. Set along the railway line, these four-storey buildings, paired in mirror image except for the last, have brown brick façades enlivened with roughcast render, a blue-stone base underlined by a frieze of black glazed bricks and geometric bas-reliefs on the ground floor. The elevations are marked by oriels of various plans, most of them rising above the façade; the group was renovated in the 1990s. The property is recorded in the architectural heritage inventory, without protection.
