Tekst achterflap

Lavishly illustrated and enriched with newly drawn plans and cross-sections, this book invites readers to explore a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000.

Designed by Victor Horta for Armand Solvay and his wife between 1895 and 1902, the Hôtel Solvay stands out for the extraordinary integrity of its interiors and furnishings. The bold spatial composition, conceived to maximise natural light, was strikingly original, as was the refined interplay of industrial and luxurious materials in a grand Brussels townhouse.
