Visit to the White House

No, not that one. There's a museum dedicated to the famous Swiss architect, Le Corbusier in Chaux-de-fonds (near Neuchatel). Known as La Maison blanche, the house was one of his earlier works and was designed for his parents. Other Le Corbusier buildings are a little less traditional.


The rooms were very open and airy.

Certain details were interesting, like the handle above or the tiled floors below. Also, they made us wear these weird plastic booties.
Above is a scale model of the house and below is a collected copy of his works.
Below is the rose garden - it was still rather early in the season for blooms.
