There are several Art Nouveau treats in store on rue Faider , where no. 83 boasts a splendidly flamboyant facade with ironwork foliage round the windows and frescoes of languishing pre-Raphaelite women, all to a design by Armand Van Waesberghe . Directly opposite is rue Paul Emile Janson at the bottom of which, at no. 6, is the celebrated Hotel Tassel , the building that made Horta 's reputation. The sinuous facade is appealing enough, with clawed columns, stained glass and spiralling ironwork, but it was with the interior that Horta really made a splash, an uncompromising fantasy featuring a fanciful wrought-iron staircase and walls covered with linear decoration. It's also a striking example of the way in which Horta tailor-made his houses to suit the particular needs of clients. In this case it was built for an amateur photographer and includes a studio and projection room.
