Le Corbusier 4

Villa Savoye is a villa built by Le and his cousin Pierre on the outskirts of Paris. The Villa was originally mean to be a weekend home for the Savoye family. And was in a collection of private home white villas that Le designed with him cousin. The clients gave Le few restrictions with this house. The villa is essentially a big square that is lifted off the ground by stilts and covered in windows on every side. The roof is actually a terrace that you can go on and garden. All the living areas are on the upper level while the lower level is for maintenance and service programs. This villa is a key building in the development of the International Style of Modernism. One of my favorite parts of this house is the spiral staircase that comes down with a railing and smooth edges. I like the clean look of all the white and smooth edges. The inside is all white with black metal railings and black decor. I like that this villa is different than the rest that I’ve seen and that it is raised off the ground.
