From 1924 to 1927, Le Corbusier and Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret—Le Corbusier’s cousin and frequent collaborator—built the experimental settlement of 51 single-family houses dubbed Cité Frugès in Pessac, France. Each of the houses was designed using the same five-square-meter module (roughly 54 square feet).
