Villa La Roche is a purist residence designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in 1923–1925 for Raoul La Roche, a Swiss banker and avant-garde art collector based in Basel. Located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the house was commissioned to serve both as a residence and as a gallery space for La Roche's art collection. Now housing the Fondation Le Corbusier, the villa is classified as a historical monument and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016 as one of seventeen Le Corbusier works recognized globally.
