Exploring the Villa

The Villa Besnus was designed by the famous architect, Le Corbusier and built in 1923. It is located in Vaucresson near Paris, France. It was designed for a man named George Besnus who preferred a house similar to the Maison Citrohan which Le Corbusier had presented at the Salon de l'Automne where Besnus had first seen it. Soon after Besnus moved in, the house began to have many issues such as a leak in the basement due to a large crack in the foundation. The basic concept of the house is the studio bedroom which was intended to be the center of the house.
