Inspired by the great architect of the 20th century, Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. Based on five important points of architecture:

  • Pilots- Showing the influences of the order and regulation of classical architecture, Le Corbusier called for the substitution of supporting walls by a grid of reinforced concrete load-bearing columns, called pilots, offering increased open space.

  • Roof garden- As a means of bringing nature into the home, Le Corbusier utilized the flat roof for a domestic garden. The creation of a vegetal rooftop also allowed for increased views over the site.

  • Free façade- The separation of the exterior of the building from its structural function allows for the freeing up of the facade as a consequence of concrete frame construction. Since the walls were then divested of their constructional role, their design became free as well.

  • Free plan- By removing the constraints of internal supporting walls, the functioning of the interior is left open and unrestrained in its usage. The natural flow of space was a key characteristic of modern architecture, which assumed that the best design does not divide space entirely.

  • Horizontal windows- The inclusion of ribbon windows that extend across the facade of the dwelling horizontally allow all rooms to be lit equally and provide a selective view of the surrounding environment.
