When I passed this facade I said “oh my god” out loud (to myself lol) so I guess that says enough? Amazing use of #cimorné but also some sort of green glass brick? SO good #lodevanmarcke #1930s #belgianmodernism

Not sure which I love more: the curved stairs, the tile floor, the wooden panelling on the ceiling or the mosaic planter - they’re all pretty much perfect #belgianmodernism #midcenturymodern

Inside #rogerhomez his own home, which has remained almost entirely untouched since the 50s (recounted to me by his widow, who’s still living there) - truly a magical place. Sideboard designed by the architect, just like almost every other piece of furniture in the house #1950s #belgianmodernism

I had this playground saved (if I remember correctly) after the exhibition #architectsatplay @civabrussels cause it reminded me of #groupludic
This one is by #jefdegryse from 1960 and although quite run down, I still love the concept and playfulness he achieved with concrete
