Maison Van Dijck: façade

This building has an unusual design. The left-hand section was developed as a gabled fa�ade, which soars upwards and is almost Gothic in style. It is topped by a remarkable small wooden loggia with an imposing cornice. The corbelled balconies are the most elegant parts of the fa�ade, with their wrought iron railings displaying various designs and a sloping metal section resembling the mast of a ship. The bay on the right side consists of loggias decorated with magnificent ironwork and sculpted stone and features Japanese-inspired shapes.

The carriage entrance is decorated with wrought iron featuring whiplash lines and bears the architect’s signature on the right.

In the interior, the polygonal stairwell is surmounted with a glass roof. The carriage entrance leads to an enormous square-shaped courtyard, likewise covered by a glazed roof. A gallery on the first floor leads to a three-storey building at the rear, used as a warehouse.
