Villa Savoye: An Avant-Garde Icon

Villa Savoye is widely regarded as a foundation of modernist architecture. It was so esteemed during Le Corbusier's lifetime that it was registered as a historical monument. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, this famous weekend retreat awaits your visit! Built according to Le Corbusier’s five points of architecture, the house showcases key design elements such as pilotis, a roof garden, an open-plan design, horizontal windows, and a free façade.

The 5 Points of Architecture

Villa Savoye, encapsulating the '5 points of architecture'—a manifesto that broke with traditions of residential space design—has an instantly captivating presence. The absence of load-bearing walls allows for free design of the façade and floor plan, while ribbon windows maximize natural light.

Le Corbusier envisioned residents enjoying fresh air on the rooftop, understanding his new architecture, a vision perfectly embodied by Villa Savoye.

An Architectural Icon

Villa Savoye maintains its iconic status by standing apart from rows of identical houses. Restored to its original state, Villa Savoye stands serenely, representing the tenets of the International Style on a grand scale.
