Stoclet House, or Palais Stoclet, is a house in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann for banker and art collector Adolphe Stoclet. Built between 1905 and 1911, with no expenses spared, Stoclet House is considered a profound conceptual and stylistic renewal of the Art Nouveau, and the most accomplished and homogenous buildings of the Vienna Secession. The house was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site during the 33rd session of the World Heritage Committee which met in Seville, Spain from 22 to 30 June, 2009. The World Heritage Committee praised Stoclet House for its aesthetic and conceptual embodiment of Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), through the exceptional quality of its decoration, its furnishing, its works of art and its garden. Its location in Brussels made it highly influential in the birth of modernism in architecture, which leads to the introduction of the Art Deco style.
