The boldest thing Horta ever did. The facade is not what you think. It is not a wall that supports the weight of the construction, but a hanging curtain wall. For the bay window, Horta used industrial materials, such as visible metal beams with rivets. Inside, he worked with a split-level. Just after the entrance hall, Horta created a winter garden, around which he built his entire plan. The garden is crowned with a dome made of colored stained glass and is currently being restored. Client Edmond van Eetvelde, a diplomat in Congo, could obtain the most exquisite types of wood for the furnishing of his residence in the colony. Something to think about as we look at our colonial past through a different lens.
