The Van Rysselberghe House (French: Maison Van Rysselberghe; Dutch; Flemish: Huis Van Rysselberghe) is a town house built by Octave van Rysselberghe in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. It was the personal house of Octave van Rysselberghe and is located at 83, French: rue de Livourne|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Livornostraat|italic=no,[1] a few steps from the Hôtel Otlet erected by the same architect.
The building, semi-detached, has a narrow façade that revolves around a protruding staircase in the form of tower.[1] According to Pierre Loze, Dominique Vautier and Marina Vestre: "this stripped-down façade, almost devoid of any decoration, fits into the pre-rationalist current that was emerging at that time."[1]
Built in 1912, the Van Rysselberghe House was listed as a monument in 1997.[2] [3]
