Two years after the Piot house project, Victor Rogister designed this vast house in four bays, three of which are symmetrical and one is offset.
The central part presents an imposing loggia resting on sculpted stone consoles, representing Aztec heads (hence the name of the house).
The balcony which overlooks the loggia is protected by an elegant wrought iron balustrade.
The semicircular arch window, with its elaborate joinery, extends the circle.
Above this window a very beautiful recently restored sgraffito represents two women's faces.
Two imposing pilasters complete the central bay.
The entrance door on the left is rather discreet, the rest of the ground floor originally housed a confectionery workshop.
