33. Georges Brunfaut House

In 1935-1937 Gaston Brunfaut was a spearhead Modernist, an accomplished architectural theoretician and an ardent supporter of large-scale town-planning projects. He designed this house for his cousin Georges, and it was built on the Avenue Coghen in Uccle between 1935 and 1937. Its elegant facades are clad in thin bricks in the ocean-liner style, with porthole windows and a loggia with rounded corners. The interior is surprisingly open and filled with daylight, and the Art Deco features show how much the architectural trends of the inter-war years were open to other influences.
