Maison Alexis - Rue Dartois, 31

Maison Alexis Rue Dartois, 31 - Family house

The architect ingeniously invests the space on the ground floor and between the adjoining walls to bring to fruition a dense program, over six levels, intended for an organist. The ground floor is devoted to his office, followed by the organ room on the depth of the plot; its ceiling, made of glass blocks, becomes the terrace of the upper floor.

The living spaces, each with a rear balcony, are accessed by a central staircase. Concrete floors free up space, especially the top level. The design is sober and the finishes are careful: door and grilles on the facade, concrete metal bow windows, sash frames patented by the architect, integrated wooden furniture, mosaic and granite floors.

Architect: Clément Pirnay
