Unite d'Habitation

Unité d'Habitation is a pioneering residential building designed by French architect Le Corbusier in the 1950s, located in Marseille, France. It reflects his vision of modern living, combining apartments with communal spaces, such as shops and recreational areas. Le Corbusier aimed to create a self-sufficient community within a single structure, using innovative design and modular living units. The building features a distinctive rough concrete exterior and incorporates elements like open floor plans and large windows for natural light. This project significantly influenced modern residential architecture and urban design, promoting the idea of collective living environments.
