Immeubles à appartements et de bureaux, place de l'Yser 8-11

Two buildings in the Art Deco style designed in 1927-1928 by the architects A. and H. Vandaele: at no. 8, an apartment building with a shop on the ground floor; at nos. 9-11, an office building for the firm Le Couvre-lit Leten et Van Hove, which from 1930 also housed the Alliance Cinématographique Européenne. Above granito ground floors, the upper storeys, rendered in white imitation stone, step forward in successive projections, with two oriel bays and fluted friezes at no. 8. The symmetrical façade of nos. 9-11 retains its central door with wrought-iron grilles of Art Deco design; the rear building was raised in the 2000s.
