Eileen Gray's E-1027 modernist house in the south of France and Le Corbusier's holiday home Cabanon next to it have reopened following a five-year renovation.
The Association Cap Moderne has completed its renovation of the seminal modern home on the south coast of France, returning it to the state it was in when it was complete in 1929.
The restoration of the E-1027 villa has been completed
The home, which is located in the village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin overlooking Monaco, is now open to the public to visit on guided tours. "The restoration of the Villa to its 1929 state has been a labour of love for all of us who have worked on the project," said Association Cap Moderne president Michael Likierman.
"The effect is truly revelatory of the genius of Eileen Gray and a marvellously dynamic contrast with the surprisingly intimate buildings of Le Corbusier just by. Magical and unique: come and see for yourselves."
