level 3 /roofgarden On the third level the primary axis ends up in a curved studio projecting out from the stair. The sculptural weight of the object contraindicts the lightness of the cascading terraces. Further the floor inhabits spaces for visitors and a bathroom. The bathtop expresses itself in the wall adjacent to the balcony and also in an opening of the ceiling above. It also contrasts the grid, demonstrating the possibility of positioning in a free plan. The bath demonstrates a design technique used frequently by Le Corbusier in which a functional element is exploited to serve the manipulation of form.
More than half of the top floor is opened up for the roofgarden. It is widely open to the back, but entirely closed to the front and contains some particular elements. An opened wall with a bench and spiral stair leading to the roof of the studio. The spiral stair together with the curved studio and the single rail representing nautical elements and contrast with the rest of the appearance.
