The Max Hallet House

The Max Hallet House
This building along the prestigious avenue Louise is genuinely sober. That isn’t simply down to the logical evolution of Art Nouveau architecture around 1900, it’s also because of the building’s purpose. It was built by Victor Horta in 1903 to be both a home and an office for lawyer Max Hallet. Visit: the venue can be visited by request, but please enquire in advance.

The Eetvelde House

According to Victor Horta himself, the Eetvelde House, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, was the most daring of his entire oeuvre. Politician Edmond van Eetvelde was someone who believed in new ideas and architectural innovation. He allowed Horta to let his artistic inspiration run wild when he commissioned him to design a home for his family. Visit: the venue can be visited by request, but please enquire in advance.
