The Maison blanche was built by Le Corbusier for his parents in 1912, after he came back from his travels in the Middle East.
The Villa Jeanneret-Perret is the first independent project by French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier. Built in 1912 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret's hometown, it was designed for his parents. Open to the public since 2005, the house is under the patronage of the Swiss National Commission for UNESCO and has been proposed by the Swiss Government for inscription on the World Heritage List.
