Poissy-sur-Seine, 33 kilometers north-east of Paris, features two buildings of Corbusier: the famous Villa Savoye and its "Mini-Me" – the gardener’s house at the site’s entrance. Likewise, the tiny building inherits the basic attributes of Villa Savoye: pilotis and ribbon glazing – the perfect mini-house.
