Architect-designed villa inspired by Le Corbusier
Just 20 minutes from the center of Lausanne, this unique property built in 1933 is part of the modernist architectural heritage inspired by Le Corbusier. Completely renovated between 2023 and 2025 under the direction of the cantonal heritage authorities, it now subtly combines historical character with contemporary requirements.
The property is located on a wooded plot of 1,784 m² and has a usable area of approximately 390 m². The current layout includes two independent units: a 3.5-room apartment on the ground floor (approx. 82 m² living space) and a 6.5-room duplex spread over two levels (approx. 150 m² living space), complemented by a winter garden and a rooftop terrace. This configuration allows for great flexibility of use: mixed occupation, rental yield, or simply a multigenerational living space.
The architecture reflects the functional and clean spirit of the modernist movement: simple volumes, flat roof, large horizontal openings, and a cantilevered porch on stilts. Several original materials and colors have been carefully preserved or reinterpreted, giving the whole a rare aesthetic coherence.
Recent work has integrated sustainable technical solutions: heat pump heating system, underfloor heating, photovoltaic installation, as well as special care taken in restoring existing woodwork. The basement also offers various practical spaces - cellars, laundry room, and a multipurpose room.
The garden, designed in a landscaped spirit, offers a calm and pleasant outdoor setting. A closed garage and five parking spaces complete the property.
