Villa Savoye, located in Poissy, in France, was designed as a country retreat for the Savoye family from 1929 to 1931. Corbusier had been working on villa designs during 1920s in a bid to create a modernist home that was functional and beautiful like a machine (like an automobile)

The Villa Savoye's integration of indoor and outdoor spaces allowed the family to spend time outdoors in the most efficient way possible—the house was, in a sense, a machine designed to maximize leisure in the machine age

Le Corbusier used reinforced concrete and plastered masonry to build the Villa Savoye. The use of reinforced concrete was a very modern method of construction in the 1920s and 30s. Villa Savoye was the vision of Corbusier's 5 points to a new architecture and included his idea and concept of open plan and free space.
