Horta designed this in 1894 at the age of 33, and it's considered one of his masterpieces. It was commissioned by the Solvay family (soft-drink manufacturers), who gave him free rein in matters of design and budget. It's now open to the public; if you don't have the time to visit, the hints of art nouveau visible on the outside are worth a look.
