Ladislav Žák, Baba #22, Herain House, 1932 Le Corbusier completed between 1956 and 1959Built as part of Pragues Baba experimental housing colony, this compact modernist villa shows how early functionalism balanced clarity with domestic scale. Flat planes, controlled window bands, and precise proportions replace ornament with structure. The composition reads almost like a diagram of living: light, grid, volume, use.
