Lucien Hervé photographs of architecture and artworks by Le Corbusier, 1949-1965

Maisons La Roche et Jeanneret (1923-1924)

Scope and content:

Images of a project consisting of two private residences that are physically connected, located in the 16th arrondissement, Paris, France. Villa La Roche was designed for Raoul La Roche, a Swiss banker, while the adjacent Villa Jeanneret was designed for Albert Jeanneret (Le Corbusier's brother) and Lotti Raaf. The project was designed by both Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret. Both dwellings now house the Fondation Le Corbusier, which includes a museum and archives. Some of the black-and-white negatives for this project are copies of images originally produced by Frédéric Boissonnas, circa 1925.
