Trust me, this 1920s art deco time capsule property in Jette, Belgium is the most original house from this period you will see.
Not that it is entirely original. Some minor changes have been carried out purely for functional purposes. A water heater here, a cooker there. But beyond that, nothing of note has changed since this one was designed back in 1927.
There is a good reason for that. The house has stayed in the same family and the family seem to be lucky in terms of living for a long time.
The first person to live here was writer and poet Jef Mennekens, who commissioned architect Joseph Diongre to build the house, giving his friend and architect free reign to do whatever he liked in terms of design.
He chose to go down a bold and avant-garde route for 1927, both in terms of the exterior and the interior, neither of which have changed over the decades.
