Villa Tony Garnier, Protected villa in 9th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
Villa de Mlle Bachelard, at 7 rue de la Mignonne in Lyon's Saint-Rambert-l'Île-Barbe district, is a single-storey villa with a rough pale grey-beige render and flat roofs. Its front has a recessed porch on three plain cylindrical columns, with tall dark-framed windows with orange panes behind and to the right. Broad concrete steps lead to a terrace with a low parapet and round basin.
The house was built in the 1920s as a residence for Mademoiselle Bachelard on rue de la Mignonne. It was one of several dwellings the architect constructed on the same street during this period.
The villa is the third of three houses Tony Garnier built on the same street in Saint-Rambert-l'Île-Barbe, sometimes called the "villas à la romaine". It was made for Antoinette Bachelard, a friend of the architect, and reuses elements he had conceived for his Cité industrielle. The building is inscribed as a monument historique since 29 April 1991 and carries the Patrimoine du XXe siècle label since 10 March 2003.
The villa stands at 7 rue de la Mignonne in the Saint-Rambert-l'Île-Barbe district, in Lyon's 9th arrondissement. It is a private residence, so the house is seen from the street; the rendered facade, barred windows and recessed porch with three columns face the road.
The architect built three houses on the same street that served as test projects for his later Industrial City design. These buildings show early experiments with residential concepts he would later develop on a much larger scale.
