Completed between 1965 and 1978, the building exemplifies modernist architecture with minimalist, monumental design and meticulous attention to detail. VOLA’s timeless Scandinavian fittings complement the bank’s functional and aesthetic needs, reflecting Jacobsen’s holistic design approach.

Villa Savoye, Poissy, France
Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier in Poissy, France, is a masterpiece of modern architecture embodying his "five points": pilotis elevating the structure, free floor plans, ribbon windows, free façades, and a rooftop garden. The white, floating box-like villa integrates indoor and outdoor spaces, with reinforced concrete construction allowing open, flexible interiors bathed in natural light. Its design harmonizes functionalism with timeless elegance, redefining residential architecture as a “machine for living.”
