Maison Saint-Cyr

The House Saint-Cyr (French: Maison Saint-Cyr) is a narrow mansion in Brussels, built in the Art Nouveau style. The house was designed by the architect Gustave Strauven and built between 1901 and 1903 for the painter Georges de Saint-Cyr. The house is located at Ambiorixplein 11 and has been a listed monument since 1988.
The house is known for its lavish decoration and exuberant ironwork on the façade, designed by Charles Van Waeyenberghe. At the top is a remarkable circular loggia, and the two lower floors contain glasswork set in curved wooden window frames. The walls of the interior are decorated with sgraffiti with plant motifs.
In 2010-2011, the house was completely restored.

The most extravagant and astonishing example of Brussels Art Nouveau is undoubtedly the House of Saint-Cyr, with its magnificent wrought ironwork as its most striking feature. Masterfully decorated thanks to the exuberant and opulent use of glass and steel on the very limited four-metre wide façade, the house is a feast for the eyes. The house was built between 1900 and 1903 as a home for the painter and decorator Léonard de Saint-Cyr and was designed by the Brussels architect Gustave Strauwen, a pupil of Victor Horta, who drew up the plans at the age of 21.
