Villa Savoye, Modernist villa in Poissy, France.
The Villa Savoye demonstrates Le Corbusier's five architectural points through its raised structure, horizontal windows, free floor plan, and reinforced concrete construction.
Constructed between 1928 and 1931, this residence served as a weekend retreat for the Savoye family before being occupied by German and American forces during World War II.
The structure became France's first modernist building designated as a monument historique classé in 1965, marking a shift in architectural preservation perspectives.
The villa opens daily except Mondays, with entrance tickets priced at 9 euros and free admission for European Union residents under 26 years old.
The villa contains a signature rooftop garden with curved walls that create a connection between interior and exterior spaces through calculated architectural geometry.
