Villa La Roche, Modernist villa and museum in 16th arrondissement, France.
The white concrete structure features large windows, open spaces, and geometric forms arranged at right angles, demonstrating architectural purism principles.
Swiss banker Raoul La Roche commissioned Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret to build this residence between 1923 and 1925 as both living space and art gallery.
The building now houses Fondation Le Corbusier with 8,000 original drawings, studies, plans, and 450 paintings documenting the architect's work.
Visitors can access the museum through Jasmin metro station on Line 9, with guided tours available throughout regular opening hours.
The interior contains suspended naked lightbulbs attached to black tubes, contrasting with white walls designed specifically for art display purposes.
