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

Extremely exciting to get an up-close look at this completely original house by #willyvandermeeren (my favourite). The terrace is built on top of the garage and features this built in table, which is such a lovely and smart detail #1950s #belgianmodernism
