Villa Le Sextant, Modernist villa in La Palmyre, France.

Villa Le Sextant features a rectangular layout with large glass sections and balconies that connect interior spaces with the surrounding landscape.

Le Corbusier designed Villa Le Sextant between 1934 and 1935 for Albin Peyron, who sought a private seaside residence for family holidays.

The architectural design incorporates local stone masonry, wooden frames, and Eternit roofing materials, reflecting both regional elements and modern construction methods.

The ground floor contains essential living spaces including a kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms that lead to an expansive outdoor terrace.

The villa's distinctive roof design consists of two slopes directing rainwater into a central collector, departing from conventional roofing structures.
