📖

Full description

Cauchie House is the former home and studio of architect Paul Cauchie, built in 1905 and covered in decorative sgraffito work. Visits are by guided tour, where guides explain Cauchie's background, his style and the sgraffito technique, and show the room where the couple received guests.

Reviewers say the interior decoration of the small living room rivals or even surpasses the facade, describing it as a rare complete artistic ensemble. At around 30 minutes it is a compact, rewarding stop for architecture and design lovers.

Reviews

Great tour, the guide gave us some information on the Cauchie's background and style, as well as on the sgraffito technique. The guided tour also allows you to see the room inside where they received clients, which includes another sgraffito. Glad that the tours are sustaining the restoration works!
