Fodor's Review:

Le Corbusier's Villa le Lac, a single-story white house built directly on the Vevey waterfront, was constructed for his parents in 1923. It remains unaltered, with his original furnishings and details preserved within. 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.
