Building
- Beautiful house with a recently renovated Art Nouveau facade, consisting of a basement, ground floor, 3 floors and an attic.
- The house is part of an ensemble, consisting of 5 houses, which were designed in a striking Florentine Renaissance-inspired neo-style. an architectural style introduced in Antwerp by Ernest Stordiau, of which only a few examples are known. This subdued style, whose distinct, whimsical formal language is in keeping with Art Nouveau, characterized his oeuvre between 1880 and 1899, which included a number of examples at Zurenborg and the bourgeois house at Sint-Jansvliet 16. Although Stordiau's building file contains six dwellings. from numbers 6 to 16, it was decided in 1995 to protect as a monument only the symmetrically built, most striking dwellings from numbers 8 to 16. That the dwellings were also valued at the time is proven by the inclusion of the ensemble in L'Emulation of 1904!
