A photo i took during a visit to La Villa Savoye.
If I ever got the chance to design and build my own home then I would take a lot of inspiration of what I have seen and learned at this beautiful home.

https://misfitsarchi…Miesfan - Haha, I've read that before. A lot of those faults are down to the technology of the day too though. e.g much less heat loss from todays window tech.microkorg

Dr Phene’s House of Mystery, No. 2 Upper Cheyne Row, Chelsea. 17 c. 1920. Tucked away on the corner of Upper Cheyne Row once stood one of Chelsea’s strangest landmarks. Dr. John Samuel Phene, an eccentric architect and antiquarian, began building his five-storey “Gingerbread Castle” around 1903. He designed it as a grand “Château,” complete with ornate details, curious inscriptions, and a dramatic façade that quickly fascinated and puzzled locals.Phene never actually lived inside his creation. Instead, he filled the garden with statues and artefacts collected from his travels, turning the grounds into a kind of outdoor museum. The mix of theatrical architecture and curious displays made the house a neighbourhood spectacle and secured Phene’s reputation as one of Chelsea’s most colourful characters.
After his death in 1912, the Château stood empty and unfinished. In 1924 it was demolished, and new houses were built on the site. Although the building itself is long gone, Chelsea still remembers its eccentric builder, whose name survives at The Phene pub nearby.
