Palais du Congo, Art Deco apartment building in Ixelles, Belgium.
The Palais du Congo features a prominent corner rotunda with five bays, vertical banded windows, and facades covered in gray-pink plaster across ten floors.
Jean-Florian Collin designed this residential structure in 1930, during a period when apartment buildings gained popularity following the 1924 co-ownership legislation in Brussels.
The building demonstrates the Art Deco movement through geometric patterns, ornamental textures, and architectural elements such as pilasters and wrought iron grilles.
Located at Avenue du Congo 2-4, the building contains two independent wings with separate staircases, elevators, and apartments featuring two or three bedrooms.
The entrance hall displays distinctive green and gold mosaics, white stone flooring, and wood paneling that reflects the luxury standards of 1930s residential architecture.
