The Villa is an iconic 1932 building in business brick style by Geo Henderick. The building is characterized by listed facades with successive recessed and protruding volumes over two floors, ending in a pitched roof and balconies. On the roof are four dormers. Remarkable is the use of brick and raw concrete which accentuate the volumes. The Millionaires’ Quarter is a unique district in the Belgian City of Ghent. In 1913, Ghent was completely devoted to the last World Exhibition before the first World War. The exhibition was held on terrains close to the Sint-Pieters train station. After WWI, the terrain was developed with houses and luxury apartments for the rich, hence the name of the quarter: “Miljoenenkwartier“ (neighbourhood for those who have millions to spend). It was here that leading architects from the inter-war period built some of their most prestigious projects. Many of them also owned houses here as a showcase. From eclectic Belle Epoque mansions, reflecting the pré-War architecture to modernistic houses. Despite its diverse building styles, the area nevertheless radiates its own unique sort of unity. The Millionaires’ Quarter, home of the rich locals, has been protected as a cityscape since 1994. Eduard Artemyev (b. 1937) Eduard Artemyev is a Russian composer of electronic music and film scores.
