Hôtel Aubecq, Art Nouveau residence in Brussels, Belgium.

The Hôtel Aubecq features three distinct facades with numerous windows and an octagonal room layout that maximizes natural light throughout the structure.

Built between 1899 and 1902 for industrialist Octave Aubecq, the building stood as an example of Art Nouveau until its dismantling in 1948.

The architectural design incorporates organic forms, iron details, and integrated furniture pieces that exemplify the Art Nouveau movement's principles of total design.

While the original building no longer exists, sections of the facade remain in storage, and some furniture pieces are displayed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

The central staircase incorporated a large skylight, creating a luminous interior space that connected all floors of the residence through natural illumination.
