Collective Housing at RKIF

A four-upper-floor building with an open ground floor, originally comprising ten duplex apartments (five on each floor, covering an area of 250 square meters each, overlooking an outdoor terrace and garden on both the eastern and western sides), intended for housing the Fair staff and VIPs. It was harshly converted into a three-star hotel in 2000. It was a unique example of a collective housing concept (villa building), one of the innovations of the Modern Swiss architect Le Corbusier.
