Approach to the Villa Savoie:

The white rectilinear volume 'floats' above the glassy base:

Roofspace, ramp, semi-protected courtyard, sculptural form:



The house demonstrates the 'Five Points' that Corb placed central
to his work, briefly piloti, fenetre longeur, free plan, active roof
space and free facade. He was very focused on proportion of mass and
space and keen to meld lessons from Classical architecture with modern
technology exploited in cars, ships and planes. For more detail refer
'Towards a New architecture' by Le Corbusier
