Aperçu

In 1910, architect Antoine Pompe drew up plans for Doctor Van Neck’s clinic, a veritable manifesto of rationalism. He then went into partnership with Fernand Bodson, another architect, until 1921, participating in the construction of garden cities. In 1922, he designed the cottage-style Vandevelde house in Ganshoren, a modernist-style house on Rue des Atrébates, and this house in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, whose brick facade somewhat mirrors the internal structure he had designed. Antoine Pompe designed an oblique entrance that announces the non-orthogonal treatment of the spaces, as do the non-symmetrical windows of different sizes that suggest half-levels; this was a way of making the most of the spaces organised around the stairwell. The masonry work gives a rhythm to the whole structure, crowned by two chimneys, also placed at an angle.
