46. Cauchie House

This house and studio, designed and built in 1905 by Paul Cauchie for himself, is one of the most unusual Art Nouveau buildings in Brussels. Almost all the facade and some of the interior walls are covered in sgraffiti. Threatened with demolition, the house was listed in 1975 and restored by its current owners. The restoration of the sgraffiti at a time when this technique had almost been forgotton served as a template for future restorations.
