The notoriety that Le Corbusier achieved from his writings and the Pavilion at the 1925 Exposition led to commissions to imposing a dozen residences in Paris and the Paris region in his "purist style." These quoted the Maison La Roche/Albert Jeanneret 1923–1925, which now houses the Fondation Le Corbusier; the Maison Guiette in Antwerp, Belgium 1926; a residence for Jacques Lipchitz; the Maison Cook, and the Maison Planeix. In 1927, he was call by the German Werkbund to determine three houses in the model city of Weissenhof almost Stuttgart, based on the Citroen House and other theoretical models he had published. He subjected this project in constituent in one of his best-known essays, the Five Points of Architecture.

The following year he began the Villa Savoye 1928–1931, which became one of the nearly famous of Le Corbusier's works, and an icon of modernist architecture. Located in Poissy,in a landscape surrounded by trees and a large lawn, the house is an elegant white box poised on rows of slender pylons, surrounded by a horizontal band of windows which fill the structure with light. The value areas parking, rooms for servants and laundry room are located under the house. Visitors enter a vestibule from which a gentle ramp leads to the house itself. The bedrooms and salons of the house are distributed around a suspended garden; the rooms look both out at the landscape and into the garden, which allowed additional light and air. Another ramp leads up to the roof, and a stairway leads down to the cellar under the pillars.
