I recently had the opportunity to re visit Le Corbusier’s Studio- Apartment in Paris, after having been once when it had just opened. It is located on the top two floors of the Molitor Building and was designed and built between 1931 and 1934 by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Because no other buildings were placed opposite it, facades were able to be raised entirely filled with windows, thereby constructing the first residential apartment made of glass in all of architectural history. Bathed in light filled spaces, Le Corbusier would inhabit and work in this apartment from 1934 until his death in 1965. The site has been registered as a UNESCO world heritage site since 2016 and is a must see when in Paris.
