Le Corbusier's Paris apartment reopens Where the painter and revolutionary architect has lived for thirty years between functionality and natural light.
After two years of restoration, the famous Le Corbusier house-studio reopens to the public inside the Immeuble Molitor. The space in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in which the revolutionary painter and architect lived and designed from 1934 until 1965, together with his wife Yvonne, the housekeeper and the dog Pinceau, is not only UNESCO world heritage, but also represents the perfect example of his work and his design ideas. The focus? Importance of light and functionality.
A fun fact: the Immeuble Molitor, built by Le Corbusier with cousin Pierre Jeanneret between 1931 and 1934, was the first ever residence to have an entirely glass façade, a combination of horizontal sliding panels and translucent glass blocks.
