Le Corbusier's Guiette House 1926 in Antwerpen, Belgium, is considered one of his most unknown work. It's an early and classic example of the "International Style" and designed for painter René Guiette. Today the mansion is owned by Belgian fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester (one of the Antwerp six). Under her vision the building was restored in 1985 by Belgian architect Georges Baines, who also did an work studio extension of the house in 1993.

Pre-war modernism is just perfect...

Whole center of my city - Gdynia (some of buildings presented on this page) was built during that times. It's so well thought-out planning! And this architecture... it's simple yet very beautiful.
