Origin and history

The Maison Mietschaninoff, located in Boulogne-Billancourt, is a modernist villa built between 1924 and 1925 by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. Ordered by sculptor Oscar Miestchaninoff, it is part of a small subdivision and is distinguished by its rounded tower housing a staircase. A bridge, planned on the first floor, was to link this house to a third villa never built.

The villa, with its workshop on the ground floor, is next to that of the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz, at the origin of the project. Despite some minor interior changes, the building retained its original condition. Its facades and roofs were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 15 January 1975, stressing its architectural importance.

This project illustrates the influence of the modernist movement in France in the inter-war period, marked by collaborations between artists and architects. The villa embodies a synthesis between functionality (integrated workshop) and formal innovation (cylindrical tower, unfinished bridge), typical of the work of Le Corbusier and Jeanneret at this time.
