Immeubles à appartements Art déco, avenue Louis Bertrand 118 et avenue Voltaire 192-194

Pair of Art Deco apartment buildings influenced by the Amsterdam School, signed and dated 1933 on the base of no. 118 by the architect Jos Bal, who built no. 192-194 avenue Voltaire for himself. Set on a curved plan, the two four-storey buildings beneath flat roofs share a continuous façade in brown and yellow brick, enhanced with white stone and white imitation stone. The corbelled upper floors, linked by a vertical decorative frieze, end in curved balconies; the parapets have ball finials. At no. 118 the triple entrance is flanked on each side by three stacked portholes with convex glazing; the attic storey, intended for an "orangery", has recently been enlarged. The original doors with flat-iron grilles and the ironwork survive; the ensemble is recorded in the inventory.
