A bourgeois house in the Art Deco style, around 1925, by Jef Huygh. The rendered double-house façade offers an original play of volumes: a raised side bay beneath a bell-shaped crown with decorative balls, a continuous polygonal bay window ending in a balcony, arched attic windows and coloured glass. Huygh was also co-author, with Maurice Dieltiens, of De Harp in Antwerp, designed in 1920 in an early Art Deco style.
Translated from the French original.
