Interior visit of La Nouvelle Maison by Henry Van de Velde (tour in english)

La Nouvelle Maison in Tervuren is one of the most personal and refined creations by Henry van de Velde—an internationally renowned architect who actually started out as a painter and went on to become an influential figure in design and modernist architecture. The house, where he lived with his family from 1929 onwards, was recently restored.

Van de Velde's vision was unique: he sought a synthesis of art, craftsmanship, and functionality, deliberately breaking with excessive ornamentation. La Nouvelle Maison reflects this evolution in a modernist design language that is both powerful and refined. The rounded corners, the carefully composed masses, and the dialogue between open and closed spaces demonstrate his mastery and his personal interpretation of modernism.

A visit to La Nouvelle Maison is a rare opportunity to experience this masterpiece from the inside. The house remains a discreet and exceptionally private domain, and can only be visited with Korei Guided Tours. During the tour, you will discover how one of the greatest designers of the 20th century translated his ideals into architecture, in a home that remains as timeless and inspiring as ever.
