Adrien Blomme's own house, designed in 1928 and built in 1929 on the corner of Avenue Franklin Roosevelt and Avenue Antoine Depage, with an architecture studio and apartments. Modernist in spirit with Art Deco touches, it is adorned with bas-reliefs by Ossip Zadkine, two of which flank the entrance. The Université libre de Bruxelles bought it in 1964 to house its rectorate; it has been listed since 19 November 2009.
