Maison Blomme, Protected heritage building in Campus Solbosch, Belgium.

The Maison Blomme features white plastered facades with a blue stone base, combining horizontal lines on Franklin Roosevelt Avenue with vertical elements on Antoine Depage Avenue.

Constructed in 1929 by architect Adrien Blomme as his personal residence and office, the building became part of the Free University of Brussels in 1964.

The building represents a crucial moment in Brussels architecture when the city authorities accepted modernist designs along Franklin Roosevelt Avenue, formerly Nations Avenue.

Located at the intersection of Franklin Roosevelt and Antoine Depage Avenues, the structure now serves as the rectorate of the Free University of Brussels.

Sculptor Ossip Zadkine created bas-reliefs at the entrances depicting architect's tools, adding artistic elements to this modernist structure.
