Villa Sarabhai, or Villa de Madame Manorama Sarabhai, is a modernist villa located in Ahmedabad, India. Designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, it was built between 1951 and 1955.[1] It was built with an austere interior, a typical Le Corbusier design principle.
History[edit | edit source]
The villa was built for Manorama Sarabhai, the sister of Chinubhai Chimanlal. She commissioned it in 1951 to build a home for her growing family, and it was completed in 1955.
Design[edit | edit source]
The villa is located on a verdant 20-acre park owned by Sarabhais.[2] Corbusier decided on the vault as the villa's defining structure after taking into consideration the local climate, which is characterized by wide fluctuations of temperature and humidity.[3]
