Antwerp
Antwerp — from Consciencestraat to Arthur Goemaerelei, via Generaal Lemanstraat
From Consciencestraat to Arthur Goemaerelei, this route brings together twelve Art Deco houses and buildings from 1925 to 1935. It starts at Benoit J. Dupont’s Résidence Conscience (1935), which has twelve flats, and at the house Flor Van Reeth designed in 1930 for Louise Flipo, then reaches Kardinaal Mercierlei, with Guillaume Peeters’s Van Dijck house (1929), in a protected urban site. On Generaal Lemanstraat, the Brussels architect Franz Vandenbroucke-Eeman and Raymond Ceurvorst signed two neighbouring houses in 1927; they are followed by Léon De Vroey’s rental house for the diamond dealer Gustave Alexander (1929), on Doornelei, a house by Peeters on Karel Oomsstraat (1932), the house of the naval engineer Cyrille De Bièvre (1930) and Louis Van Rijmenant’s apartment building on Korte Lozanastraat (1934), which keeps its 1934 lift. The route ends at two neighbouring houses on Jan Van Rijswijcklaan (1925 and 1926) and at one of David Moëd’s first works (1929).
