Remarkable Modernist style house, strongly inspired by the Amsterdam School, designed by architect Georges de Hens in 1936.
Yellow bricks enhanced with black ceramics on the windows dress the facade.
“L” shaped plan of which main corner is rounded, giving to this rigorous architecture, a touch of softness.
The front garden, built on different levels, has remained in its original state.
The window frames and the garage door were replaced, without affecting the whole.
