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
Architect: Victor Horta - 1895/1898 Victor Horta bouwde dit luxueuze herenhuis in 1894 voor de zoon van de industrieel Ernest Solvay. De architect kreeg carte blanche voor dit project. Hij ontwierp het interieur en het meubilair tot in de kleinste details. Op de gevel lopen twee symmetrische erkers over twee verdiepingen, met daarboven balkons. Binnen wacht een visueel vuurwerk.
