Villa La Roche

Come and image how amazing he was 😇, a hundred years ago in Paris and he could created such beautiful and modern house. Every single details, every corner was deeply concerned. It is great experience that they displaced the furniture in different places for visitor to enjoy the same “moments” in the past ^^

Iconic building and fun to finally visit it! It feels a bit empty and the art gallery hall has definitely been changed. Also unfortunate that several parts of the house complex, like the roof top is off limits.

The Maison La Roche designed by Le Corbusier and built in 1923-25, is a 'purist' expression of architecture functioning as a machine for living. Here are a few of its minute details..

It is a Must for an Architect visiting Paris! Just saying.

A wonderful hidden architectural gem in Paris. If you are a fan of Le Corbusier’s work, I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance. A particularly good activity for a rainy day! Very close to the metro station, allowing for easy access. The guide given at reception explains the story of the building well, and the building itself is very interesting to explore.

It doesn’t really feel like a true house museum. They’ve removed all the furniture and belongings and replaced it with an unrelated art exhibit that feels really set apart from the house. Even replicas of the original furniture would be better than the unconnected modern art on display that only distracts from the experience of being in the house.

Came here during my architectural study field trip and was mesmerized by the building. Obviously, since its such an important historical building, we had to deal with much regulations such as putting on plastic covers for our shoes so as not to dirty the venue but apart from this, its a real architect's playhouse.

If you are into art, architecture and also intrigued by Corbusier’s sense of design, this villa should definitely be on your list to visit in Paris. It’s located on a quiet lane in the 16th. And so calm so you can take your time and really sense the way Corbusier wanted to design and style this villa. I definitely recommend this.

A few tips: Only the Maison La Roche half is visitable. You have to ring the bell for entry. You need to wear disposable booties. No touching or leaning on the walls or furniture. Villa Savoye has a much better gift shop.

a mandatory visit for any architect. consists of two buildings at the end of a cul-de-sac, Maison La Roche (which is the museum) and Maison Jeanneret (hosting now the foundation's administration) and has arguably the largest collection of le corbusier documents, drawings, photographs, paintings, etc. corbu himself established the foundation as sole girator of his works. they not only host the artwork and documents he left them but also have decision power for any renovations of his buildings (see the current ronchamp addition controversy) it was closed for renovations a few years ago but should probably be open by now.
