By choosing Victor Horta and his specific design approach, Armand Solvay expresses his own progressive attitude.
Two skylight domes, each above a light and ventilation shaft, are visible from the other side of the street. As essential constructive elements they enable Horta to design a revolutionary interior.
To implement his concept of a Gesamtkunstwerk, Horta turns to his friends of the Belgian art world. Luckily, this outstanding building could be preserved even in times when Art Nouveau was less appreciated. A masterpiece!

Hôtel Solvay
224 Avenue Louise 1050
Architecte: Victor Horta - 1895/1898 Cette demeure luxueuse fut construite par Victor Horta en 1894 pour le fils de l’industriel Ernest Solvay. L’architecte reçut “carte blanche” et conçut l’intérieur et le mobilier jusque dans les moindres détails. Sur la façade, deux bow-windows symétriques s’élèvent sur deux étages et sont surmontés de balcons. A l’intérieur, c’est un feu d’artifices visuel. La gamme des tons rouge-orange renforce l’atmosphère de luxe et de confort. A voir absolument.
