Hôtel Empain, Private mansion in Brussels, Belgium
The three-level square-shaped Hôtel Empain features massive granite slabs, brass window details, and an ornate wrought-iron entrance door on Avenue Franklin Roosevelt.
Baron Louis Empain commissioned this mansion in 1930, later donating it to the Belgian State in 1937 for establishing a museum of decorative arts.
The building served multiple functions through time, including housing the Soviet embassy and Radio-Television-Luxembourg studios between 1980 and 1993.
The Boghossian Foundation acquired the property with plans to restore the mansion and transform it into a center for Eastern cultures.
The interior design incorporates luxurious onyx and marble materials, while the exterior includes a swimming pool and pergola in the garden space.
