Bruges — Art Deco houses of the 1930s, from Torhoutse Steenweg to Julius en Maurits Sabbestraat

Outside the ramparts of Bruges, this walk brings together seven Art Deco houses built between 1931 and 1934. It starts at Jos. Vander Schaeghe’s two houses on Torhoutse Steenweg (1932), protected monuments since 2013, and A. Hoeman’s house in Sint-Andries (1931), then reaches A. Wybo’s mirror-image twin houses on Leopold I-laan (1933). Next come Ernest Callebout’s house on Lauwerstraat (1934), Jozef Priem’s on Gouden-Boomstraat (1931) and Firmin Koentges’s on Keizer Karelstraat (1933), with their oriels, recessed and projecting volumes and surviving joinery. It ends at Achille Goigne’s house on Julius en Maurits Sabbestraat (1933), whose interior is treated throughout in geometric Art Deco forms and which has been a protected monument since 2004.
