Cauchie House

This project was created in 1905 by Art Nouveau architect, painter and designer Paul Cauchie for his wife who was an artist and himself. He conceived the front of the house with the intention of advertising and selling their work: sgraffiti for him and art teaching for her. As the house was easily seen from the neighboring roads, it drew the attention of passers-by and demonstrated their know-how. After they dies, the two upper floors of the house have been converted into apartments and refurbished in accordance with contemporary needs but the ground floor is a museum.
