2. Immeuble Molitor

After the Maison la Roche, it’s a short metro ride or walk to the Immeuble Molitor in Boulogne-Billancourt, which includes Le Corbusier’s own studio-apartment. Completed in 1934, it was where Le Corbusier lived and worked until his death in 1965. Here we can see how he expanded on his Five Points, and continued to work on the use of space and light. The Immeuble Molitor was the first residential building to be built with a façade made entirely of glass, and uses three different types of glass to obtain different effects with light. Like in the Maison la Roche, the furniture is sparse and leaves the architecture itself to take centre stage.
