67. Winnens House

​At the end of the 1920s, the architect Alfred Nyst built this bourgeois house with an austere, yet elegant, Modernist façade on the corner of the Vergote Square. From the outside, and in addition to being round, the terrace with its star shape is particularly remarkable. Inside, we find ourselves in a very characteristic Art Deco interior, perfectly balancing functionality and sophistication. Both by its clear formal language and the fact that it features various architectural trends, the Winnens House is most representative of a fascinating period in the history of Brussels architecture. This is the oldest Modernist building one can visit during the BANAD Festival.
