Résidence de la Cambre
The Résidence de la Cambre is the first high-rise building in Ixelles, Brussels. It was built in 1938–1939 according to the plans of architect Marcel Peeters in a style inspired by New York Art Deco architecture. The 17-story residential tower, which stands at 20, Boulevard Général Jacques/Generaal Jacqueslaan, near the Place de l’Étoile/Sterrenplein, was classified as a historical monument on 14 July 2005. In April 2007, €740,000 were granted by the government of Brussels-Capital Region to renovate the facade and roof.
The Résidence de la Cambre is a short walk from La Cambre Abbey and the eastern shores of the Ixelles Ponds, a part of Brussels particularly rich in Art Deco architecture.
