The white concrete facade of Villa La Roche strikes a sharp, geometric profile against the tree-lined street in Auteuil. Built by Le Corbusier in nineteen twenty-five, the house serves as a manifesto for modern living. The owner, Raoul La Roche, wanted a space to showcase his cubist art collection. The architect responded with a ramp that cuts through the living room, designed to force visitors to move through the house in a specific, cinematic rhythm, viewing the paintings from varying heights and angles.
