House Planeix

Le Corbusier – Maison Planeix, Paris France, 1927

The Planeix house is a house-studio for an artist located at 24 bis-26 bis Boulevard Masséna, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret designed and built it between 1925 and 1928 for the sculptor and funerary painter Antonin Planeix.
It is one of Le Corbusier's rare creations of a house subject to the constraints of shared walls.

The painter Auguste Herbin had his own studio in the 1931s. It was also the seat of the Abstraction-Creation movement he had created in XNUMX with Georges Vantongerloo, Hans Arp, Albert Gleizes, Jean Helion, Georges Valmier and František Kupka.
Its facades and roofs were listed as historical monuments by a decree of 16 August 1976.
This house is reminiscent of the one built by Adolf Loos for Tristan Tzara in 1926, Avenue Junot in Paris. The building consists of 3 painting studios and the house.
