Origin and history

The Larrey villa, located in Sceaux in Hauts-de-Seine, is a detached house built in 1954. It was designed by architects André Lurçat and Albert Michaut for Mr Larrey de Torrebren. This building illustrates the modern post-war architecture, with a reinforced concrete structure and hollow brick, covered with cement. Its asymmetrical design includes a single level boulevard side, with an integrated garage, and three levels garden side, reflecting a topographical and functional adaptation.

The villa was listed in the Historical Monuments by order of 21 March 2000 for its facades and roofs. This ranking underscores its heritage importance as evidence of the architectural innovation of the mid-20th century in Île-de-France. The materials used, such as reinforced concrete, and the collaboration between Lurçat and Michaut, two figures of modern architecture, make a remarkable example of this period.

Although practical information about his visit or current use is missing from the sources, his official address is 2bis boulevard Desgranges à Sceaux. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "passible" (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in the geographic databases. The villa remains a symbol of the integration of modern architecture in a bourgeois residential setting in the Parisian suburbs.
