Explore this exquisite three-bedroom apartment and a spacious 172m2 office located on the ground floor of a modernist building near the Ixelles Ponds. Part of an architectural masterpiece built between 1964-1967 at the behest of SA Herpain, this property is the work of the Architecture and Urban Planning Atelier by Lucien Jacques Baucher and Michel Draps, with consulting engineer Bureau B. Boloukhere. Enjoy exclusive garden access, two parking spaces, a wine cellar, and a storage cellar.
The apartment’s interior was masterfully designed by the renowned Christophe Gevers, reflecting high-end taste and sophistication. The building itself is a marvel of modernism, featuring eight levels with the top set back, fully glazed facades accented with horizontal bands, continuous balconies, and unique projecting terraces with a trapezoidal plan. The lightly smoked double-glazed railings and the original teak sliding and fixed chassis add to its charm.
A concrete shell central core comprises the main and service landings, including a staircase, main and service elevators, and a technical room. Each of the dozen apartments in the building has both a main entrance and service access. The structure’s framework is reinforced concrete with some columns insulated in metal.
The ground floor toward rue de Belle-Vue showcases an aluminum grille by visual artist Victor Vasarely, obscuring the view to the concierge’s apartment. The entrance hall is distinguished by a water feature and a folded sheet metal staircase supported by beams with a safety glass guardrail.
The garden, facing Avenue du Général de Gaulle, is crafted on various levels, with the upper part reserved for the ground floor apartment’s private use. This property is an architectural gem, perfect for those who appreciate modernist design and luxurious living.
