20.020 | Restoration façade Hotel Solvay

Hotel Solvay is an Art Nouveau masterpiece designed by Victor Horta and built between 1895 and 1903 for Armand Solvay. In 2000, the Solvay House was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 2019, some 30 years after the last major restoration campaign on the Solvay House, it became apparent that the front ironwork and woodwork were in very poor condition. The diagnosis phase revealed an outward displacement of the façade and a generalized state of corrosion of the metal structures. It was therefore high time to carry out a complete restoration of the majestic façade.
