You are an expert of the work of Le Corbusier, you are a passionate about architecture, you are an art historian, you like beautiful houses, you are interested in our built heritage… or maybe you are just curious about discovering a house…., THE house a 25 years old man built in 1912 for his parents!
The Villa Jeanneret-Perret, also called Maison blanche (=”white house”) is Charles-Edouard Jeanneret’s first personal project as an independent architect
He built it for his parents in 1912 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, his home town.
The villa is classified by the Swiss Confederation as a work of national interest.
Storia, genio, conservazione e gentilezza concentrato a la Maison blanche !
Merci beaucoup.
