Cabanon in Cap-Martin

Le Corbusier – Cabanon de Le Corbusier, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, 1949-1951

The Cabanon (from the French, hut) is a building designed by Le Corbusier in 1951 and located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France.
Le Corbusier designed the Cabanon as a birthday present for his wife Yvonne and decided to place it in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, on the French Riviera, where he already lived in the house E 1027, built by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici in 1927: the peculiarity of this design proposal was its very small dimensions. It is in fact a cabin with plan dimensions of 3,66x3,66 m and a height of 2,26 m. 
The shed has a pine bark slat cladding on the outside, the interior is completely in wood, with a white, red, green, yellow and blue paneled ceiling. The furniture is designed with millimetric precision applying the Modulor rules.
The 14 mXNUMX surface is therefore essential, no living room and no kitchen, functions that were carried out by the garden with the awareness that a "naked man" on holiday "does not need much more than a bed, services, a roof and the view of the sun shining on the sea"
