Villa Le Lac is a small house on Lake Geneva in Corseaux, Switzerland, designed by Le Corbusier with Pierre Jeanneret between 1923 and 1924 for the architect's parents. Measuring only 64 square meters, four meters by sixteen meters along the shoreline, the house demonstrates three of Le Corbusier's Five Points of Architecture. It is recognized as a Swiss Cultural Property of National Significance and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. Since 2010 it has operated as a museum hosting exhibitions on architecture and on Le Corbusier's work.
