\u201cThe sky is radiant and for a fortnight we have been living in miraculous new conditions: a home that is heavenly, because everything is sky and light, space and simplicity,\u201d Le Corbusier<\/a> wrote to his mother in 1934. He was rhapsodizing about his new apartment\/workspace in Paris, where he would reside for more than three decades with his wife, Yvonne, their dog, Pincea, and their housekeeper. Le Corbusier loved the space so much that he stayed there until his death in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occupying the top two floors of Immeuble Molitor \u2014 the world\u2019s first apartment building with fully glazed facades and among the architect’s 17 UNESCO-listed buildings \u2014 the 2,600-square-foot penthouse was recently reopened to the public after a two-year renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Immeuble<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne option was to return to the initial state when Le Corbusier and Yvonne moved in,\u201d says architect Fran\u00e7ois Chatillon, whose firm, along with a multidisciplinary team, was tasked with the restoration overseen by Fondation Le Corbusier. \u201cBut it seemed to us more appropriate to integrate the marks of 30 years of use, where the experience of the place resulted in constant transformations in which the architect did not stop testing new experimental mechanisms, introducing new materials, experiencing the polychromy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born Charles-\u00c9douard Jeanneret in 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the architect moved to Paris in 1917 and never looked back. In 1931, with his practice well established, he and his associate and cousin, Pierre Jeanneret<\/a>, were commissioned by a private developer to design an apartment building in Paris\u2019s 16th arrondissement on a plot bordering the commune of Boulogne.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living at the time with Yvonne in a cramped apartment in the St. Germain-des-Pr\u00e8s quarter, he decided to reserve the seventh and eighth floors of the new structure as their dwelling, incorporating a studio for pursuing his first love: art. Comprising a living space, studio, guest room and rooftop garden, the apartment benefited from the building\u2019s then-groundbreaking construction approach. Involving a frame of reinforced concrete, this allowed for an open floor plan and a \u201cfree-floating\u201d curtain wall made of Saint-Gobain glass<\/a> (including the now-famous Nevada blocks), which together resulted in light-filled interiors, sweeping views and fluidity. Here is a tour of the highlights post-renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Entrance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"entryway

This central space connects the four main parts of the apartment. Here, Le Corbusier\u2019s free plan and \u201carchitectural promenade\u201d concept are visible. The dominant spiraling staircase<\/a> \u2014 with a single pole in place of a handrail \u2014 leads to the eighth-floor guest room and the rooftop garden. Two large pivoting doors<\/a> welcome you to either Le Corbusier\u2019s studio or the apartment. When the doors are open, you experience the visual continuity of the space (emphasized by the continuous stoneware-tile flooring) and the light streaming through the glass curtain walls, skylights and other windows. Opposite the staircase is a bright blue wall. Le Corbusier used different wall colors to distinguish different areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before heading to his office in the afternoon, Le Corbusier would spend the morning painting in this light-filled space dominated by a 40-foot-long barrel vault and a stone wall with exposed brick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStone can speak to us; it speaks to us by means of the wall,\u201d he said. \u201cClose to us, in contact with our hands, it is a skin, rugged and yet well-defined. This wall is my daily friend.\u201d The whitewashed wall presented a traditional counterpoint to the modern glass walls on the east and west sides of the studio. So much light came in that Le Corbusier was constantly trying out means to diffuse it, including the wood panels you can see today on the Paris-side facade. Along with the largest area, for painting, the studio also included a corner study where he wrote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Living Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the

The second pivot door in the entrance hall leads to the salon, which feeds into the dining room. Here, a vermillion wall is part of the encasement built around the service elevator, its machinery and the chimney. (Throughout the apartment, colors were restored as closely as possible to those at the time of Le Corbusier\u2019s death.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reveal the history of Le Corbusier\u2019s transformations and the restoration process, the layers were left visible, creating something like the architect\u2019s color keyboards. The room\u2019s furnishings include the LC3, or Grand Confort, armchair<\/a> codesigned by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand<\/a> and Pierre Jeanneret; the LC3 sofa; and the LC1 slingback chair<\/a>. Design firm Cassina<\/a> supported the restoration of the furniture, \u201cwhich was performed by skilled craftsmen directly in Paris,\u201d says Barbara Lehman, head of the Cassina Historical Archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the company produced the missing \u201ccowhide\u201d carpet<\/a>, \u201cmade with \u2018squared elements\u2019 of leather stitched together,\u201d Lehman says. Also present are what the architect referred to as his \u201cpoetic reaction objects.\u201d \u201cThese are shells, stones, bones, pine cones or pieces of wood picked up by Le Corbusier,\u201d says Isabelle Godineau, head of archives and exhibitions at Fondation Le Corbusier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Dining Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beneath another arched ceiling, the dining room benefits from a glazed facade. It opens onto a balcony that runs the length of the connected kitchen, dining room and bedroom and offers views of the Boulogne commune. In 1949, a stained-glass window made in Reims by artist Brigitte Simon was incorporated into the glass facade just in front of the dining room table, designed by Le Corbusier. Surrounded by four Thonet chairs<\/a> and featuring a marble top and two trumpet-like legs, it was inspired by a mortuary table he saw in a dissection room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the
Photo by Antoine Mercusot <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to the dining room and also accessible via a service door from the passageway that leads to the servant\u2019s room, the kitchen is distinguished by its built-in furniture, created by Perriand, who worked in Le Corbusier\u2019s studio. An upper cabinet and lower storage unit<\/a>, both with sliding doors, are joined together by slender tubes similar to those of the entrance staircase. The double sink and counter tops are pewter. White vertical subway tiles adorn the walls, while windows at the sink, including Saint-Gobain Nevada blocks, bring in light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the
Photo by Antoine Mercusot <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the dining room, you pass into the bedroom through a massive door with a wardrobe<\/a> attached to its other side. It\u2019s an appropriate entry, or exit, for a rather funky space inspired by Le Corbusier\u2019s love of ocean liners. With a headboard<\/a> attached to the bright blue wall behind it, the bed is raised high on thin poles to provide husband and wife with a view of the Boulogne commune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to Le Corbusier\u2019s shower, a yellow door conceals a full-length mirror<\/a>. Yvonne\u2019s bathroom, with its uniquely shaped door frame and sitz bath, is done in marine blue with mosaic tiles. Historic photos show the painting Still Life, First State<\/em> by Fernand L\u00e9ger <\/a>on the wall next to the bidet. Currently \u2014 for security reasons, according to Godineau \u2014 the apartment contains no artworks, but it is hoped they can be added soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Roof Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"the

When Le Corbusier secured the top two floors, he also developed the roof at his own expense. Up there, in the curvature between the vaulted ceilings, he redefined it as a \u201csuspended garden,\u201d as he had in earlier projects, like Villa La Roche and Villa Savoye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe garden a poem. Grass, lilac, roses, and others \u2014 and what a horizon,\u201d Le Corbusier wrote in a letter to his mother (for whom the guest room on the eighth floor was mainly intended). He began with particular plant varieties but then let nature take its course. Today, the tranquil space, including three benches, the same grid-pattern tiling found throughout the apartment and climbing ivy on the south and north fences, remains the apex of Le Corbusier\u2019s notion of urban living with air, light and greenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
