Villa Jeanneret, Modern villa in 16th arrondissement, France

Villa Jeanneret is a residential building in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in the early 1920s. It features long horizontal windows, white facades, and a strict geometric layout spread across several floors.

Villa Jeanneret was commissioned by Le Corbusier's brother Albert Jeanneret and his fiancée Lotti Raaf, and built with Pierre Jeanneret between 1923 and 1925 as part of a joint project with the connected Villa La Roche. The pair were the only clients of a larger original scheme to see their houses built. The two buildings were listed as monuments historiques in 1996 and inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites on 17 July 2016.

The house is named after its first occupants, Albert Jeanneret, Le Corbusier's brother, his wife Lotti Raaf and their two daughters. Le Corbusier called the route through the interior a promenade architecturale: "C'est en marchant, en se déplaçant que l'on voit se développer les ordonnances de l'architecture." The building now houses the Fondation Le Corbusier, so it is not open to visitors.

Villa Jeanneret stands at 8 square du Docteur-Blanche, at the end of a cul-de-sac in the 16th arrondissement; the connected Villa La Roche at no. 10 is the one open to visitors. Villa Jeanneret itself houses the Fondation Le Corbusier and cannot be entered. Approach on foot from the Avenue Paul Appell side to see the white facades and window bands from the street.

Unlike many of Le Corbusier's later projects, this house sits directly on the ground rather than on concrete stilts. Villa Jeanneret and the neighboring Villa La Roche were built at the same time on the same plot, though they were designed for two different occupants.
