Villa Cook, Modernist villa in Boulogne-Billancourt, France

The building features a reversed layout with bedrooms on the first floor and reception areas on the second floor, connected by a central fireplace.

Constructed between 1926 and 1927, Le Corbusier designed this residence for American journalist William Cook and his French wife Jeanne.

The structure demonstrates Le Corbusier's Five Points of Modern Architecture through its pilotis, roof garden, open floor plan, and horizontal windows.

The facades and roof received protection status as a historical monument in 1972, with major renovations completed in the 1960s and 2004.

The third floor contains a library opening onto a roof terrace, while bare bulbs embedded in walls provide minimalist lighting throughout.
