Maison La Roche-Jeanneret

The house marks a radical departure in that it was more picturesque and spatially elaborate than its predecessors.

The program included a salon, dining room, bedrooms, a study, a kitchen, a maid's room and a garage. The site faced north, and zoning restrictions prevented windows looking over the surrounding back gardens. It was therefore necessary to get light in by creating light courts, a terrace, and skylights.
