“As Victor Horta’s first significant building, the Maison Autrique is a major part of Brussels’ architectural heritage. Firstly, because this house, built in 1893, represents a crucial stage in the development of Belgium’s greatest architect. Secondly, because the building has recently undergone a restoration that is exemplary in many respects, helping to shed light on the origins of Art Nouveau. The project, conceived by François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters, aims to transform this building into a sort of ‘house of houses’ – a tribute to Brussels’ private architecture whilst also serving as a gateway to the imagination. Presented from the cellar to the attic, the Maison Autrique highlights the historical and aesthetic appeal of Brussels’ houses, revealing their charm and mystery.”
