High house in floral Art Nouveau style, designed by the architect Joseph Barsin in 1907.
Two asymmetrical bays and four levels make up this facade in glazed white bricks and blue stone for the lower part.
The blue stone appears very sculpted here, notably above the entrance door and on the base, but especially on the lintel of the lower bay, with its curved and sinuous lines. A large flower, with drooping petals, highlights the arch.
Two beautiful ironworks decorate the double oak door and the lintel of the front door, representing chestnut leaves and chestnuts.
The right bay projects up to the top floor. The woodwork is rather classic here, no curves or small pieces of wood.
Ceramics decorate the top of the door as well as the top of the first floor window. The first represent flowers of intertwined ocher, pink, blue and mauve colors, very Art Nouveau floral. The second panel represents an ancient house destroyed in 1904, the Porquin house.
