The Villa Bloemenwerf[1] (Dutch: [ˈblumənwɛrf]) is the former residence of the Belgian painter, architect and interior designer Henry van de Velde, built in 1895. It is located at 102, avenue Vanderaey/Vanderaeylaan in the Uccle municipality of Brussels, Belgium. Van de Velde designed the house and its interior, as well as the furnishings,[2] partially drawing inspiration from William Morris' Red House in Bexleyheath, London.[2] Maria Sèthe, his future wife, designed the garden surrounding the house.[3]
