Overview

On the edge of the Solbosch campus, overlooking Avenue Roosevelt, the Presidency and Board of Education of the Université libre de Bruxelles are housed in a building designed by architect Adrien Blomme around 1928. The architect wanted to live and set up his office there. Five rental apartments were also part of the project, aimed at increasing profitability. The layout had been designed to allow spaces to be easily enlarged or partitioned. Blomme also had to comply with the urban planning requirements of different height requirements, which is why the building has two extra floors in the section facing Rue Antoine Depage. The architect paid particular attention to the interior layout, focusing on comfort, luminosity and space, so that everyone could enjoy working or living in the building with its whitewashed facades. The entrance is flanked by bas-reliefs by Ossip Zadkine depicting the architect’s attributes. The main door has retained its wrought-iron grille, while the ceremonial hall is still decorated in its original style, with integrated wall lights and a black and pink marble floor (Prémeau and Imperor’s red).
