Summary

An extensive article detailing the restoration of a 1928 Bauhaus-style residence in Uccle, Brussels, by Lydia Kümel. The house, designed by Yvon Baudoux (a student of Louis Herman de Koninck), was purchased by Kümel in 1981 and meticulously restored. The interior features a mix of iconic 20th-century design pieces (Mackintosh, Rietveld, Eames, Botta, Corbusier) and original designs by Kümel herself, including a dressing room (boudoir) and a mirrored wardrobe. The text provides biographical details about Kümel's transition from archaeology to architecture and her design philosophy of creating unique, one-off designs.
