During my cycle into the city today I stopped at the renowned Palais Stoclet. A private mansion built by architect Josef Hoffmann between 1905 and 1911 on Avenue Tervuren in Brussels. The building reminds me of the laboratory in "Edward Scissor Hands", Tim Burton's famous film. It is still occupied by the Stoclet family and was designated as a world heritage site by Unesco in June 2009. Oddly the architecture does not look too out of place in its setting- a street filled with very bourgeois extravagant houses.
