Maison Les Hiboux

This house is commonly referred to as “Les Hiboux” (The Owls) because of the sculptures depicting these nocturnal birds sitting on top of the building, and their presence on the fanlight sgraffito.

EXTERIOR

The building is part of an ensemble of Art Nouveau houses created by several architects at the turn of the 19^th and 20^th centuries and located on the same block. It is a red brick structure embellished with white stone, on a blue stone base. This façade exudes Art Nouveau elegance, whether it be displayed in the plinth course, which is made of blue stone, the delicate ironwork or the curves that feature prominently in the woodwork (even though what can be seen today is a fairly poor copy of the original).

Do not miss the magnificent sgraffito that decorates the fanlight and the sculpted pinnacles depicting… owls.
