Les Peupliers, Modernist residential building in Antwerp, Belgium.
The building features geometric forms, open interiors, and large windows that allow natural light to flood through its concrete and glass structure.
Architect Le Corbusier completed the construction of Les Peupliers in 1927 for René Guiette, who used the property as both a residence and art studio.
The residence represents a prime example of International Style architecture, demonstrating the modernist principles that influenced European residential design in the 1920s.
Located at Populierenlaan 32 in Antwerp, the property underwent substantial renovation work in 1987 under the direction of architect Georges Baines.
In 2016, UNESCO designated Les Peupliers as a World Heritage Site, recognizing its contribution to modern architectural development under the name Maison Guiette.
