An Art Deco office building erected in 1930 by the architect François Cornelis for the contractors Joseph Tignol and Adolphe Joly, successors to Charles Daussin, a builder specialising in "lightweight vaults for churches". It replaced a small 1908 building by the architect Édouard Ramaekers, whose rear shed, roofed with a vault built to Daussin's patented system, was retained. The asymmetrical two-storey façade beneath a mansard roof, in thin red brick trimmed with white imitation stone and blue stone, has entrances under mitred arches, an entablature frieze with wave motifs and surviving joinery with geometric ironwork. The property is recorded in the architectural heritage inventory, without protection.
