Antwerp
Antwerp-Deurne — from Basseliersstraat to Mortselsesteenweg
From Basseliersstraat to Mortselsesteenweg, this short route brings together six Art Deco buildings from 1926 to 1937. It starts at a Deurne house designed in 1937 by A. Van Rijsbergen, with a porthole and an oriel, then reaches the two mirror-image semi-detached apartment houses on Joos Robijnslei (1929), which Leonard Verbeeck designed for two brothers-in-law in an Art Deco influenced by the Amsterdam School. On Van Notenstraat, Benoit Dupont’s multi-family house (1932) forms with its neighbours a group marked by white stone; then come a house on Jozef Verbovenlei (1935), probably by Simon Pièret, and a house on Waalhofstraat (1926) with a geometric design. The route ends on Mortselsesteenweg at the De Ridder bakery (1932-1933), with two undulating gables, which keeps its chequered stained glass.
