Maison bleue, Art Deco apartment building in Angers, France.
Maison bleue is a residential building featuring Art Deco architecture located on rue d'Alsace and boulevard Maréchal-Foch in Angers. Its facade showcases geometric patterns, mosaic panels, and ornamental details typical of the style.
Architect Isidore Odorico completed the building in 1929 during the height of the Art Deco movement following World War I. This timing reflects when the style gained significant presence in French architecture and urban development.
The building demonstrates how decorative craftsmanship was woven into everyday residential life, with ornamentation serving both as artistic expression and neighborhood identity. This approach reflects a period when functional homes could also be works of art.
The building stands at a central location in Angers where two main streets intersect, making it easy to find and observe. Since it remains a residential building, visitors should admire the exterior details without disturbing residents.
The building features intricate mosaic work created by the Odorico brothers, craftsmen who specialized in decorative elements for architectural projects of their era. These mosaic panels remain visible today and demonstrate the skilled handwork of that period.
