In 1929, Eileen Gray
designed Villa E 1027 for herself
and her youthful partner Jean Badovici, but only lived there
for three years. Today, the elegant house in Roquebrune-Cap-Mar- tin in
southern France is an icon of modernism. In 1937, Le Corbusier discovered the
place and the "Maison en Bord de Mer". Inspired by the genius of the place
and the light on the Côte d'Azur, he
created a total of eight large-format wall paintings there in 1938 and 1939
onwards, some of which complement the building congenially, while others set
counterpoints. In 1952, he built his Cabanon nearby and decorated it with
murals as well. The book by the well-known architectural historian Tim Benton
documents Le Corbusier's artwork at this special place, explores its
controversies, and places it in his overall oeuvre.

  • First publication about the Le Corbusier murals in Eileen Gray's E.1027 and Le Corbusier's summer home
  • An elegant and timeless villa on the French Riviera and a minimalist timber house
  • After years of renovation, E.1027 is now open for visitors again
