Maison Mattot

[6] In this modernist construction, Marcel Leborgne manages to dominate the particular configuration of the terrain to respond correctly to the specific requirement of "housing for a bachelor gynecologist".

[7][8] "The volumetry, frequently somewhat elaborate in earlier works, shifts here towards a marked elementarism, while attention to detail is increasingly focused along with the richness of the materials".

On the first floor, spaces are compartmentalized according to function:[2] at the front, towards Dewandre Boulevard, is the doctor's practice and, at the back of it, a waiting room and toilets.

[2] Marcel Leborgne was probably inspired by the Maison Dotremont, built in 1932 in Uccle by Louis Herman De Koninck,[7] which uses the same entrance device.

[2] The second floor is a vast, completely open space, based on the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright,[2] which is perfectly suited to the needs of a single person.

Sliding partitions temporarily[3] separate the living room, facing Dewandre Boulevard, from the hygiene and relaxation area.

[12] The polychromy, which has now disappeared, was described in Bâtir magazine as a mixture of blue and gold leaf, red, Macassar ebony, pale apricot, green and black.
