Designed by Victor Horta for scientist Emile Tassel and built between 1892 and 1893, the Hôtel Tassel in Brussels is a pioneering Art Nouveau townhouse that ranks among the first buildings of the style, alongside Paul Hankar's contemporary Hankar House. Located at 6, rue Paul-Emile Janson, the stone structure is renowned for its highly innovative plan and groundbreaking use of materials and decoration. In 2000, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list as part of a group of four Horta-designed urban residences, recognized as epoch-making works that established the architect's foundational contributions to the movement before the twentieth century.
