The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette maison se réfère directement à l'architecture hollandaise. Scarabée doit son nom à son toit en forme de coque qui à l'origine était recouvert de tuiles vertes. Un très grand soin a été apporté aux détails et à la réalisation. La finition complexe montre la sophistication des assemblages dont témoignent les appareillages de briques.

History
This house refers directly to Dutch architecture. Scarabée owes its name to its shell-shaped roof which was originally covered with green tiles. Great care was taken in the details and execution. The complex finish shows the sophistication of the assemblies evidenced by the brick bondings.
