This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Le Corbusier’s Cabanon de Vacances was desgined and built by the architect in 1951, a short walk from Eileen Gray’s E-1027 on the coast of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
The compact log cabin – recognised as Le Corbusier’s smallest architectural project – is the only vacation home the architect built for himself. Measuring only 13sqm the Cabanon contains only basic facilities and is adorned with Le Corbusier’s distinctive murals.
The Modern House team visited the Cabanon recently – you can see a selection of our photos here.
