Villa Schwob, Modern architectural villa in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
The Villa Schwob features reinforced concrete construction with ochre brickwork and large vertical windows spanning two stories around a central living room.
Commissioned by watchmaker Anatole Schwob in 1912, Le Corbusier designed this residence before moving to Paris and established his signature architectural principles.
The mathematical precision and geometric patterns throughout the villa represent early applications of Le Corbusier's architectural theories about form and function.
Located at 167 Rue du Doubs, the villa operates under the ownership of Ebel watch company, which acquired and restored the building in 1986.
The villa introduced Le Corbusier's Dom-Ino System with concrete slabs supported by thin columns, creating open floor plans that revolutionized residential architecture.
