Curutchet House, Modernist residential building in La Plata, Argentina.
The residence spans four levels with a medical office on the ground floor and living quarters connected by a central courtyard and ramp system.
Le Corbusier designed this structure in 1948 for Dr. Pedro Curutchet, and construction was completed in 1953 under Amancio Williams' supervision.
The building demonstrates the application of Le Corbusier's architectural principles through pilotis, open floor plans, horizontal windows, and roof gardens.
The house operates as a museum managed by Buenos Aires' architects association, offering guided tours to visitors throughout the week.
An existing tree was incorporated into the interior design, penetrating through multiple floors while maintaining the structural integrity of the building.
