Villa Jeanneret-Perret, Modernist villa in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

The rectangular structure features a T-shaped plan with two main levels, an attic, and a loft, positioned on steep terrain overlooking the city landscape.

Le Corbusier designed this residence in 1912 as his first independent architectural project, creating it specifically for his parents in the watchmaking region.

The property maintains its original character through preserved furnishings, including the piano that belonged to Le Corbusier's mother inside the restored interior spaces.

Visitors can access the villa by taking a train to La Chaux-de-Fonds Station and continuing on bus line 310 to the Montbrillant stop.

The building combines steel beams with brick pillars and incorporates fibrocement materials, demonstrating early twentieth-century construction innovations.
