Hôtel Tassel

Casa Tassel integrates iron and stone elements throughout its structure, featuring curved lines and natural motifs in both exterior and interior designs.

Professor Emile Tassel commissioned Victor Horta to design this residence in 1893, establishing the first true embodiment of Art Nouveau architecture.

The building exhibits metal framework, stained glass, and decorative elements that influenced the development of architectural design across Europe.

Located at 6 Rue Paul-Emile Janson, the building functions as private offices while maintaining its original architectural features and structural elements.

The central stairwell contains iron columns that branch out like tree trunks, supporting a glass roof that floods the interior with natural light.
