Villa Stein, Modernist concrete villa in Vaucresson, France
Villa Stein is a modernist concrete residence in Vaucresson that unfolds across multiple levels connected by carefully positioned staircases. The facades display rows of horizontal windows and white surfaces, while interior spaces remain open and allow light to flow through the structure.
The house was constructed between 1928 and 1931 as an experiment with new building techniques and design principles. Its creation marked a turning point in how architects reimagined residential spaces.
The villa embodies a philosophy of architectural purity where geometric forms dominate and decorative elements have no place. This design approach was revolutionary and shaped how people thought about modern residential spaces.
The exterior can be viewed year-round and offers clear details from the outside. To see the interior, visitors need to arrange in advance since the building remains a private residence and is not freely open.
The house follows a mathematical proportion system based on human measurements, with each detail determining its placement through this logic. This system was applied so consistently that architects later studied it as a model for rational design.
