Hôtel Otlet, Art Nouveau private mansion in Brussels, Belgium.

The Hôtel Otlet features an asymmetrical facade design with blue arabesque friezes underneath the cornice and intricate wooden interior decorations.

Architects Octave Van Rysselberghe and Henry van de Velde collaborated to create this residence between 1894 and 1898 for lawyer Paul Otlet.

The building represents a period when Belgian architects incorporated natural forms and innovative materials into residential architecture.

The mansion, located at the intersection of Rue de Florence and Livourne, now functions as a law office while maintaining its architectural integrity.

The entrance door handle displays exceptional metalwork craftsmanship, demonstrating the attention to detail in early Belgian Art Nouveau design.
