About Villa Savoye
Villa Savoye is a reinforced-concrete house designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, built between 1928 and 1931 as a weekend retreat for the Savoye family. Located on a hillside in Poissy, about 30 km northwest of Paris, the building is considered the fullest expression of Le Corbusier's "Five Points of a New Architecture": pilotis (columns), free floor plan, free facade, horizontal strip windows, and a roof garden. The visit follows an "architectural promenade" — a central ramp that rises through the building, revealing shifting views of the interior spaces and surrounding landscape.

The Savoye family found the house deeply uncomfortable. The flat roof leaked from the start, and heating was inadequate for a concrete structure. Madame Savoye wrote to Le Corbusier in 1935: "It is raining in the hall, it's raining on the ramp and the wall of the garage is absolutely soaked." By 1937 she threatened legal action, calling the house uninhabitable.
