Iron-frame house with glazed earthenware cladding
This drawing published in 1872 in his famous Discourses on Architecture, has become a legendary image, a true architectural icon.

Antwerpen-Centraal railway station, Belgium.
The station is widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style.
In 2009, the American magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth greatest train station. In 2014, the British-American magazine Mashable awarded Antwerpen-Centraal the first place for the most beautiful railway station in the world.
The station is used in Agatha Christie's Poirot episode "The Chocolate Box" to represent a station in Brussels

Villa Doxi Stracca in Puglia, Italy
Villa is nestled in 5 acres of grounds with vineyards, olive groves, and formal gardens. The lush grounds are set back from the villa, accessed through an impressive arch from 1800, bearing the inscription ‘Villa Valentino’, after the Naples-based noble family who inherited the property in 1800.
The arch beautifully frames the 60-foot swimming pool set below the handsome facade of the baroque chapel, and the villa comes with a second private pool in a walled courtyard accessible from one of the suites.
Inside, several connected reception rooms with vaulted ceilings offer respite from the Puglian heat.
