Cabanon de Le Corbusier

1952Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, FranceUNESCO

Cabanon de Le Corbusier
A minimal holiday cabin designed for his own use—Modulor dimensions put into practice at the smallest domestic scale. The opposite pole of his monumental works: a tiny room. Read how sleep, meals, and views are apportioned within a tight floor area, against the backdrop of his dimensional system.

Highlights

  • Built-in furniture — Does the furniture shrink the room, or define it?
