Villa Baizeau, Modernist villa in Carthage, Tunisia.
The white Villa Baizeau sits on elevated ground with expansive windows offering views across the Gulf of Tunis and Bou Kornine mountains.
Lucien Baizeau commissioned Le Corbusier to design this residence in 1928, marking the architect's only project constructed on the African continent.
The villa represents a fusion of European modernist principles with North African environmental considerations through its ventilation system and sun-shading elements.
Located within the Presidential Palace grounds in Carthage, the villa currently houses the Tunisian General Intelligence Archives and remains closed to visitors.
Le Corbusier designed the entire villa without ever visiting Tunisia, relying solely on photographs and topographical information provided by local experts.
