Architect: Victor Horta – 1895\/1898
\nThis luxury townhouse was built by Victor Horta in 1894 for the son of captain of industry Ernest Solvay. The architect was given \u201ccarte blanche\u201d and designed the interior and the furniture down to the smallest detail. On the fa\u00e7ade, two symmetric bow windows surmounted by balconies are seen to protrude across two floors. Indoors it is a visual extravaganza, with the sheer range of red-orange hues on offer only acting to underpin the atmosphere of luxury and comfort. A must-see building. <\/p>\n
