Origin and history
The Wogenscky House, located in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse in the Yvelines, is an emblematic example of modern architecture in the mid-20th century. Designed in 1952 by André Wogenscky, former collaborator of Le Corbusier, it takes on the principle of Modulor, a system of harmonic proportions developed by Le Corbusier. The house, of square plan, rises on two levels and is covered by a roof terrace, with a concrete structure and internal brick partitions. It was built for Wogenscky and his wife, the sculptor Marta Pan.
The property also includes a garden, a workshop dedicated to Marta Pan, as well as sculptures arranged in the outdoor spaces. These elements, as well as semi-entered storage buildings, were protected by registration orders in 1997 and 2021, highlighting their heritage value. The house illustrates the integration between architecture, art and everyday life, characteristic of the projects led by Le Corbusier's collaborators.
André Wogenscky, architect and close to Le Corbusier between 1934 and 1944, applied functionalist principles while integrating an artistic dimension, notably through the works of Marta Pan. The site, located at 80 avenue du Général-Leclerc, is now recognized as a major testimony to the Corbusian heritage in Île-de-France, mixing constructive innovation and sculptural sensitivity.
