Achievements

several villas, of which the dwelling-workshop of the painter Gustave Camus in Mons (about 1962).

Many works of this architect fell a little into the lapse of memory:

four vaults with Bertrix (1949-1959 are currently dilapidated and could disappear well;
of the dwellings is also renovated with the liking of the desire of the current owners and is sometimes denatured.
