The building, semi-detached, has a narrow façade that revolves around a protruding staircase in the form of tower.[1] According to Pierre Loze, Dominique Vautier and Marina Vestre: "this stripped-down façade, almost devoid of any decoration, fits into the pre-rationalist current that was emerging at that time."[1]
Built in 1912, the Van Rysselberghe House was listed as a monument in 1997.[2][3]
