Oblique Front Elevation
Armand Solvay House in Brussels, Belgium

Victor Horta was the architect for this luxurious town house, built 1894-1903.  Architectural historians usually describe it as Horta's greatest residential work, although the slightly earlier Tassel House has its proponents.  Unfortunately, the sophisticated facade is quite difficult to capture completely on film, being on a narrow, tree-lined street.  Photograph taken in 1982 by Howard J. Partridge.
