The Hôtel van Eetvelde (Шаблон:Lang-fr; Шаблон:Lang-nl) is a historic town house in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Victor Horta for Edmond van Eetvelde, administrator of Congo Free State, and built in 1895, in Art Nouveau style. It is located at 4, Шаблон:Lang/Шаблон:Lang in the Squares Quarter (eastern part of the City of Brussels). An extension, also designed by Horta, was added in 1898.
Together with three other town houses of Victor Horta, including Horta's own house and workshop, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2000 as the core of epoch-making urban residences that Horta designed before 1900.[1]
Building
Main building
The visible application of "industrial" materials, such as steel and glass, was a novel for prestigious private dwellings at the time. In the Hôtel van Eetvelde, Horta also used a hanging steel construction for the facade. The interior receives additional lighting through a central reception room covered by a stained glass cupola.

Extension
An extension to the house was designed by Horta in 1898. This building has a more conventional, beautifully detailed, sandstone façade. It was designed to house a garage, an office for van Eetvelde, as well as supporting apartments, and therefore had a separate entrance at 2, Шаблон:Lang/Шаблон:Lang.
This house later became the home of the architect Jean Delhaye, a collaborator of Horta, who became, after the latter's death, the great defender of his work.

Interior
The interior of the central building revolves around an octagonal rotunda surmounted by a skylight. This rotunda and its glass roof were reconstructed in 1988, as they were originally designed by Horta.
Horta combined here a rest area and a movement area; the rotunda has the function of a small living room or Winter Garden, but it is surrounded by a circulation area that provides the connection with the living room, the dining room and stairwell.Шаблон:Sfn
The cupola with its coloured stained glass windows is supported by eight steel columns, which "are integrated into this vegetal world like rods".Шаблон:Sfn The dining room door is adorned with opalescent glass whose tint changes according to the intensity and incidence of light.Шаблон:Sfn
