Beautiful mansion and artist's studio designed by Victor Horta in 1901 for sculptor Fernand Dubois.
Horta designed a large, asymmetrical facade, in three bays, with no window being alike.
The front door even seems small overall. Its superb handle was designed by the sculptor himself, it is undoubtedly the most beautiful door handle in Brussels.
The largest window was that of the sculptor's studio.
Transformed inside in the 60s, the building was then occupied by offices and currently houses (2021) the Cuban Embassy offices.
Listed building since July 1975.
