Devalck House: From Art Nouveau Heritage to Award-Winning Restoration







Architect-designed home with unique stained-glass windows
The Devalck House, a magnificent example of Brussels Art Nouveau, was designed in 1900 by architect Gaspard Devalck as a gift for his mother. The building showcases his characteristic attention to detail: the white-stone facade is punctuated by sleek bands of bluestone and outlined by delicate lines of red brick, creating a harmonious and elegant pattern. Later, Devalck also established his own studio there, transforming the house into both a private residence and a workshop, imbued with creativity and craftsmanship.
What truly makes Huis Devalck special are the beautifully preserved stained-glass windows by master glass artist Raphaël Evaldre. The windows bring the incoming light to life and tell subtle stories through color and pattern, giving each room a unique atmosphere. These artistic elements make the house not only an architectural gem but also a living work of art that reflects the rich history of Brussels and its artisans. For visitors, it is an extraordinary experience to admire the details up close during a guided tour.
Thanks to a meticulous restoration, Huis Devalck was awarded a heritage prize, a recognition of the quality and respect with which the building was restored. The current residents are absolutely enamored with their home and speak passionately about its history, architecture, and the works of art that adorn it. A tour of the interior of Huis Devalck offers not only a glimpse into the splendor of early 20th-century Brussels, but also a story of dedication, creativity, and love for heritage—an experience you won’t soon forget.
