Rene Guiette asked Le Corbusier to design a house modelled on the 1925 Pavilion de l'Esprit Nouveau. Guiette drew lifelong inspiration from the house using gouache and experimental photography ^[3]

The house and the Guiette artwork was the subject of an exhibition at the 9H gallery London.

In July 2016, the house and several other works by Le Corbusier were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.^[4]
