Immeuble Clarté, Modernist apartment building in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.
The nine-story structure features glass facades with double glazing, sliding windows, and three asymmetrically positioned balconies on both north and south sides.
Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret completed this residential complex in 1932, establishing new standards for urban housing design in Switzerland.
The building represents a milestone in modern architecture, earning recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Class A Swiss cultural property.
The ground floor contains two entrances with glass brick walls, a central boiler room, storage cellars, and bicycle storage facilities.
Light enters through a glass tile dome ceiling above the eighth floor studios, illuminating both stairwells throughout the building structure.
