Maisons La Roche et Jeanneret

1925Paris, FranceUNESCO

Maisons La Roche et Jeanneret
Linked houses in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, planned partly as a museum. White boxes and a curved gallery are signature. The La Roche side includes gallery space for a painting collection; circulation itself becomes the exhibition experience. An entry point for reading modern house experiments alongside art space.

Highlights

  • Gallery ramp — How does the sloping floor change gaze and bodily movement?
  • White exterior and openings — How does wall-to-window ratio show the free façade?
