Mid Century Modern Architecture Design
The Villa Savoye seems to grow from the interior, almost as though reacting against any form of external 'front', thanks to a central force, which is almost forcefully expressed in the continuity of the spiral staircase, but which loses its intensity towards the outside walls, which balance the externalenvironment with the internal forces.
The staircase, an 'architectural promenade' which leads to the 'lyrical experience of the purely plastic', achieves vertically an accelerated communication between consecutive spatial experiences: the first moment of contact at ground level, the moment of interim passage and arrival at the middle zone and final freedom from tension at roof-garden level. Three moments, three different stages of life here all the basic symbols of architecture are organised in synthesis and finally meet in culmination.

Visiting plant nurseries makes me really happy, but visiting amazing architectural masterpieces is my second favorite. This Villa Savoye in Poissy, just outside Paris, was on my want-to-visit-list for a while and finally I got to go! At several places stood "leftover" Tolix chairs and stools from the dedicated Tolix exhibition at the Villa Savoy earlier this year. A really great color match and both designed in the same era, the early 1930s.
Different layers of green to in the end: find the perfect shade of green:
See, what did I tell you: mint Tolix chair beautifully arranged in front of the glass wall near the entry:
The Villa Savoye was designed by Swiss architects Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, and built between 1928 and 1931 using reinforced concrete. The house in the outskirts of Paris, was originally built as a country retreat of the Savoye family. After being purchased by the neighbouring school it became property of the French state in 1958, and after surviving several plans of demolition, it was designated as an official French historical monument in 1965. It was thoroughly renovated from 1985 to 1997, and under the care of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the refurbished house is now open to visitors all year round.
