About this Building / Place
Villa La Roche was built as a home for Raoul La Roche that among other things would serve as a private gallery to display La Roche's extensive art collection. Built in a private Paris courtyard, the house had major constraints imposed by the site and its zoning restrictions, including a north orientation, existing trees and height and boundary limitations.
