Art Nouveau Architecture: The Sunflower

There is a delightful sample of Art Nouveau Architecture in Cogels Osy Lei.

Art-Nouveau-Architecture



The Sunflower, Cogels Osy Lei 50 (Gentlemen’s house, Art Nouveau, Architect Jules Hofman, build in 1900)

A pleasant white corner house. The architect played with open and closed surfaces. Every window is very special and unique. The biggest one has the form of a horseshoe.





The Round-a-Bout (Neo-baroque, ) This is one of the nicest squares you will fin din Antwerp. In 1900 this was probably one of the first round a bouts in the country. This neo-baroque rest point is in contradiction with the diversity of the whole street. Twelve castle houses seem to be identical. But every house has its unique details.
