Villa La Roche
Nestled in a leafy alleyway in Paris's famous 16th arrondissement, Villa La Roche is a prime reflection of modernist architecture in France. Built between 1923 and 1925 by Le Corbusier, it stands as an experiment in linking two distinct programs, intertwining both art gallery and home.

It's hard to believe that this villa was built in the 20s. Its revolutionary influence is seen in so much of today's open plan, airy, light-filled architecture. I can just imagine how it stunned people when it was built.
Amazing how Le C could play his magic in a confined space like this. Villa Savoye has a large lot - no wonder it is even more beautiful than this one... They are in the same class as Villa Tugendhat in Brno (by Mies)
