Logis-Floréal: Regionalist Art Deco

The twin garden suburbs of Le Logis and Floréal, with their 1,500 dwellings are the biggest affordable housing project built in Belgium in the inter-war period. Their construction was permitted by the progressive Law of 1919, which created the National Company for Affordable Houses and Dwellings (Société nationale des Habitations et Logements à Bon Marché) and was done by two self-build co-operatives, including a group of typesetters from the “Le Peuple” newspaper.
