Radio House

Radio House is a broadcasting facility in Brussels featuring a symmetrical facade with horizontal lines and rounded corners, constructed from brick and bluestone in Streamline Moderne style. The building contains recording studios and concert halls that serve cultural and artistic purposes.

The building opened in 1938 as headquarters for Belgian national broadcasting and shaped the country's radio industry for decades. Major renovations between 1998 and 2002 transformed it into a cultural venue hosting concerts and recordings.

The building serves as a cultural hub where visitors can experience live performances and concerts in spaces designed for diverse artistic expressions. Its role has evolved from pure broadcasting to a gathering place for music lovers and performers.

The building welcomes visitors and offers various events and tours where you can explore the architecture and working spaces. It is helpful to check in advance what tours and performances are available during your visit.

The building was constructed on challenging ground where unstable groundwater required specially engineered foundations, a technical solution that was innovative for its time. This engineering feat remains hidden beneath the surface but made the construction far more complex than its elegant exterior suggests.
