Villa Fallet is a traditional chalet in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, designed and built in 1905 by the eighteen year old Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, later known as the architect Le Corbusier, together with two fellow students under their teacher Rene Chapallaz, for the engraver Louis Fallet. Built in the Style Sapin, the Swiss variant of Art Nouveau, the chalet has a steep alpine style roof decorated with geometric patterns of pine trees and cones, and its success led Jeanneret to build two similar houses nearby; it is now recognized as a building of cultural significance in Switzerland.
