To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Le Corbusier Foundation unveiled a restored apartment originally designed by a renowned architect. The studio apartment in Paris was designed by Le Corbusier for his residence in 1931 and completed in 1934. After two years of restoration after being listed as a World Heritage site in 2016, the apartment is now open to the public. Since its founding in 1968, the Le Corbusier Foundation has been dedicated to the preservation, understanding and dissemination of le Corbusier's work.
Located on the top floor of the vibrant Molitor Building, this 240-square-metre apartment offers stunning views of Boulogne and Paris. After receiving World Heritage classification status in 2016, the foundation carried out two years of careful restoration of the apartment, mainly to improve thermal conditions, replace degraded materials, restore coloured decorations, and collate archives and documents.
