Le Corbusier's Villa le Lac, a single-story white house built directly on the Vevey waterfront, was constructed for his parents in 1923.

Shingled in corrugated sheet metal, with a white-metal railed balcony looking over the water and a "birdhouse" chimney in molded concrete, it is typically sculptural and, in a modest way, visionary.
