The semi-detached house by Le Corbusier was intended to create a new type of variable house to complement the neighbouring single-family house by him. One half of the house was to be equipped for daytime use, the other half for use at night. Characteristic features are the continuous window band, the visible steel columns, the roof garden and the two staircases, which protrude as cubes on the west side.
The interiors are completely designed for multifunctionality. As in a comfortable train compartment, the beds disappear during the day into built-in cupboards, sliding walls extend the living space. The designer Alfred Roth created an easily moveable tubular steel bed, which was later industrially produced. The bathtub corresponds to the original furnishings.
