Casa Curutchet

The Casa Curutchet by Le Corbusier is located in La Plata, Argentina and is built on a diagonal road in La Plata's grid system. The house was completed in 1953 so it was much later than Corbusier's other houses such as the villa Savoye.

The Curutchet house was an unusual corbusian building as it was attached to existing buildings. Corbusier designed the house for Dr Curutchet so it has a doctors surgery on the first floor which he ramps up to. another feature of the house is that it was built round three trees one of them becomes a big feature of the roof terrace.
