Design and construction

Villa Schwob

Le Corbusier used the Regulating Lines design principle in this building for the first time.^{[citation needed]} This is the best known and most remarkable of his creations in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Rich in symbols, and with elaborate technical and aesthetic aspects, it is also his most accomplished work before leaving for Paris. The ochre brick-work associated with concrete accentuates the oriental character of the house.
