Le Parador, a Spanish-inspired mid-century modernist villa in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre outside Brussels designed by architect Jacques Dupuis for his surgeon brother Paul-Victor and his family in 1946, today maintained by the latter’s son, Christian Dupuis.
An Aubusson tapestry depicting the Battle of Troy dominates the cedar paneled dining room, which is punctuated by a Baroque-inspired star-decorated white frame for an aquarium and wrought ironwork at a narrow window depicting stars and the sun. The dining table and elegantly curved dining chairs are mahogany.
