Curutchet House - Le Corbusier
Casa Curutchet
La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Curutchet House is a building by the famous French architect Le Corbusier and is known to be the only residential project designed and completed by Corbusier in all of the American continents. This architectural gem demonstrates Corbusier's Five Point of architecture. Construction began in 1949 and was completed 1953. The house is still privately owned by the original family who commissioned it but now houses El Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provencia de Buenos Aires and offers regular tours. The Curutchet House was also featured in the movie El Hombre de al Lado (The Man Next Door) directed by Mariano Cohn (I highly recommend it).
