In what year was the Villa Savoye completed?

Villa Savoye was completed in 1931.

The modernist villa in Poissy, near Paris, was designed by Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret for the Savoye family as a country retreat. Work began in 1928, and the house was built primarily with reinforced concrete. Although the main construction was finished relatively quickly, changes, landscaping, and remaining work meant that the residence was not fully habitable until 1931.

Villa Savoye is one of the clearest demonstrations of Le Corbusier’s “Five Points of a New Architecture.” These principles included pilotis that raise the house above the ground, a roof terrace, an open floor plan, horizontal ribbon windows, and a free façade independent of structural walls.

The villa is often linked with both modern architecture and the International Style. It later became French state property and is now recognized as a major landmark of twentieth-century architecture. Its completion date is sometimes confused with 1928, the year design and construction began, or 1930, when much of the building work was underway.
