E-1027 is a modernist villa in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, in the Alpes-Maritimes department of France. It was designed and built from 1926–1929 by the Irish architect and furniture designer Eileen Gray and the French/Romanian Architect Jean Badovici.[1] L-shaped and flat-roofed with floor-to-ceiling windows and a spiral stairway to the guest room, E-1027 was both open and compact.[2] This is considered to be Gray's first major work, making indistinct the border between architecture and decoration, and highly personalized to be in accord with the lifestyle of its intended occupants.

Key Information

The name of the house, E-1027, is a code of Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici ('E' standing for Eileen, '10' Jean, '2' Badovici, '7' Gray), reflecting their relationship as lovers during its construction.[3] It is impossible to identify the exact individual contributions of Gray or Badovici to E-1027.[4] Gray also designed furniture for the house, including a tubular steel table which would enable her sister to eat breakfast in bed without leaving crumbs on sheets, due to an adjustable top that caught the crumbs.[4]

Gray and Badovici separated shortly after the completion of the house and Badovici inherited the house in 1932.[4] In 1938/1939, Le Corbusier painted significant murals in the house, which survive; Gray felt they were an act of vandalism.[5]

Aftermath

[edit]

Gray began working on a new house, Tempe à Pailla, in nearby Menton in 1931.[4] Tempe à Pailla was furnished by Gray with flexible furniture designed to save space.[4] Only a later house designed by Gray, Lou Pérou in Saint-Tropez, was fully architecturally realized by her.[4]

E-1027 and Le Corbusier

[edit]

Badovici inherited the house in 1932 and visited regularly with his wife.[6]

The Swiss born-French Modernist architect, designer, painter, urban planner and writer Le Corbusier was a friend of Badovici and visited the house several times after Badovici and Gray had parted.[3]

While staying as a guest of Badovici in his house in 1938 and 1939, Le Corbusier painted bright murals on its plain white walls with his permission, sometimes in the nude.[3] This change to her ex lover's house infuriated Gray, who considered the murals outright vandalism. In 2013, the architecture critic Rowan Moore said of the painting of the murals that "As an act of naked phallocracy, Corbusier's actions are hard to top...", adding that Le Corbusier was "seemingly affronted that a woman could create such a fine work of modernism" so he "asserted his dominion, like a urinating dog, over the territory".[3]

Le Corbusier became intricately tied with the future of the house. Failing to purchase it himself, he eventually bought a piece of property just east of E-1027, where he built a small, rustic cabin, his Cabanon de vacances.[3] Here he would go for work and quiet contemplation, taking daily swims on the beach outside the house. After, he died in those very waters, the whole area was declared a "Site Moderne," or "Modern Site," and deemed an area of cultural and historical importance and international interest. Today, E-1027 is recognized as the founding element of this site.

E-1027 today

[edit]

After its lengthy restoration, E-1027 opened to the public in July 2021.[7] Gray's original furniture has been removed from the house, and was sold in the early 1990s at the auction house Sotheby's.[3] Replica furniture was to be supplied for the house by Zeev Aram, a champion of Gray's work.[3] Plans for the renovation were prepared by the French government, who designated it as a French National Cultural Monument. As a result, the state of France and the city of Roquebrune Cap Martin - through the national agency "Conservatoire du littoral" [8] - bought the villa in 1999 and made it secure provisionally. A signboard during the restoration designated the restoration as an initiative of the state of France, the department "Alpes Maritimes" and the city of Roquebrune (expenses to be borne 50% / 10% / 40% respectively).

The house is owned by the Conservatoire du littoral, who have delegated responsibility for it to the local commune of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.[3] It was the wish of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin that the restoration of E-1027 be managed by the architect Renaud Barres, who had previously produced a study on a possible restoration of the house, and that Barres should work with Burkhardt Rukschcio, an architect who had restored modernist buildings.[3] The French Ministry of Culture wished that the restoration be managed by Pierre-Antoine Gatier, the chief architect for historic monuments in the south of France, who had little experience of modern buildings.[3]

By 2013 the restoration had cost €600,000, and was criticised by Barres and Rukschcio who produced a "dossier which details, with convincing photographic evidence, departures from Gray's intent: thickening of metal rails, original glazing and light switches replaced by standard 21st-century products, a stair clumsily misplaced and mis-dimensioned, a colour scheme different from the 1929 version."[3] In 2016, the Getty Foundation contributed a $200,000 grant to the ongoing restoration work.[9]

from Grokipedia

E-1027 is a modernist villa in , , designed and constructed between 1926 and 1929 by Irish architect and furniture designer primarily as a summer residence for herself and her partner, Romanian-born architect Jean Badovici. The name E-1027 encodes their intertwined identities: "E" for Eileen, "10" for Jean (the 10th letter of the alphabet), "2" for Badovici (B as the 2nd letter), and "7" for Gray (G as the 7th letter).
Perched on a rocky bluff overlooking the , the L-shaped structure exemplifies early modernist principles through its white stucco exterior, flat roof, and innovative integration of architecture with custom interiors, including built-in furniture, adjustable screens, and careful site orientation for sunlight and views. Gray's debut architectural project represents a total work of art, blending functionalism with personal expression and anticipating mid-20th-century design trends.
The villa gained notoriety due to interventions by , who in 1938 painted abstract murals on its interior walls without Gray's permission, an act she viewed as vandalism that prompted her never to return; these murals, partially preserved during restoration, continue to spark debate over authenticity and respect for original intent. Following periods of neglect, occupation by squatters, and partial decay after Badovici's death in 1956, E-1027 underwent extensive restoration from 1999 onward, reopening to the public in 2018 as a protected cultural site managed by French national heritage authorities.

Origins and Design

Commission and Conceptual Development

In 1926, Romanian-born architect Jean Badovici commissioned his partner, Irish designer Eileen Gray, to create a summer retreat on a rocky site overlooking the Mediterranean at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, which the couple had discovered the previous year. Gray, trained as a painter and established in furniture and lacquer work, viewed the project as her architectural debut, collaborating closely with Badovici, editor of L'Architecture Vivante, who encouraged her formal study of architectural drafting. The villa's name, E-1027, encoded their initials—E for Eileen, 10 for the tenth letter J (Jean), 2 for B (Badovici), and 7 for G (Gray)—reflecting the personal nature of the endeavor. Conceptually, E-1027 emerged as a tailored habitat emphasizing individualized living over rigid modernist dogma, with Gray adapting precepts like , strip windows, and free facades—echoing Le Corbusier's five points—into a site-responsive form that integrated the building with its coastal terrain. Initially envisioned by Badovici as a solitary workspace for his active , Gray reshaped it into a versatile social space for entertaining, incorporating yacht-inspired elements such as adjustable furniture, pivoting screens, and a color palette evoking sea and land to foster fluid, intimate domesticity. Over three years of development through , Gray prioritized experiential details, producing custom interiors that blurred and furnishing, countering the perceived of contemporaneous with warmth and adaptability. This synthesis positioned E-1027 as a for "nonheroic" , prioritizing human scale and environmental harmony.

Architectural Innovations and Features

E-1027 exemplifies modernist through its adoption of Le Corbusier's five points: elevating the structure over the rocky terrain, a free enabling flexible spatial divisions, a free facade with undulating asymmetry, horizontal ribbon windows for panoramic sea views, and a flat roof intended as a terrace. The villa's frame, combined with hollow-brick infill walls, provided structural efficiency while resisting the coastal environment's salinity and exposure. Built on an L-shaped plan spanning two levels—approximately 90 square meters on the upper for principal living spaces and a lower level for guest and service quarters—the design prioritized horizontal extension along the bluff to maximize light and ventilation. A core innovation lies in the "le style camping" approach, manifesting as transformable interiors with movable partitions, pivoting panels, and multipurpose built-in furniture to adapt spaces for varying uses, from intimate seclusion to open communal areas. In the main salon, accordion-folding glass walls open fully to an adjoining terrace, blurring indoor-outdoor boundaries, while a rounded partition wall—painted to evoke the sea horizon—separates the entry hall without fully enclosing it, enhancing spatial flow and views. Nautical motifs inform the aesthetic, including ship-like railings, canvas awnings for shade, a glass-encased roof lantern, and stenciled inscriptions such as "Entrez lentement" (Enter slowly) at doorways, drawing from maritime functionality for practical environmental control. The facade features hinged apertures and extensive glazing at corners to frame the Mediterranean , with vernacular-inspired shutters on rails modulating and , integrating local adaptations into modernist purity. Interiors emphasize ergonomic human scale, with custom elements like adjustable tubular steel tables and asymmetrical chairs extending functionality, alongside efficient, color-coded storage to minimize clutter in compact volumes. Bioclimatic considerations are evident in solar alignments optimizing passive heating and natural illumination, aligning the structure's orientation with the site's for without mechanical reliance. These features collectively prioritize adaptability, sensory engagement, and site-specific harmony over rigid formalism.

Interior and Furniture Design

Eileen Gray designed the interiors of E-1027 to emphasize flexibility and functionality, integrating custom furniture with the architecture to create adaptable living spaces. The design incorporated movable partitions, built-in storage solutions, and multipurpose elements, such as bedheads with integrated pillow cupboards and electric sockets, allowing rooms to be reconfigured as needed. This approach reflected Gray's philosophy of furniture as an extension of the , prioritizing , efficiency, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections through extensive glazing and pivoting wall panels. Key furniture pieces included the iconic E-1027 adjustable table, created in 1927 with a chromed tubular and glass top, featuring a height-adjustable mechanism via a for bedside use such as reading or dining. The Bibendum armchair, with its black leather upholstery and chrome frame, served as a central seating element in the main salon, while the Transat lounger, inspired by deck chairs, provided lightweight, movable relaxation options suitable for both indoor and terrace use. Other custom designs encompassed the Satellite mirror with its articulated arm for versatile positioning, a coiffeuse dressing table in aluminum and cork functioning as a , and a music column with a for record playback. Built-in features further enhanced spatial efficiency, including color-coded storage cubbies, rail-mounted shutters for light and airflow control, and specialized such as dual-function headboard lights (white for reading, blue for ambiance). The master bathroom featured an aluminum-covered , a multifunctional doubling as a stool, and coordinated color schemes across four hues. Materials like chrome, leather, glass, wood, and lacquer were employed throughout, combining industrial aesthetics with elegant, practical forms that harmonized with the villa's modernist structure. These elements, developed over three years in collaboration with Jean Badovici, underscored Gray's expertise in furniture design from her Jean Désert gallery, making the interiors inseparable from the overall architectural manifesto.

Construction and Early History

Building Process (1926–1929)

Eileen Gray purchased the plot of land in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in 1926, registering it in the name of her partner Jean Badovici, and promptly began the planning phase, employing detailed models and topographic studies to adapt the design to the steep, rocky coastal site. Construction started in 1926 under Gray's direct supervision, as she resided on-site throughout the three-year build to oversee execution and maintain fidelity to her vision of functional modernism tempered by personal intimacy. Badovici contributed technical expertise, including innovations such as patented vertical folding windows that facilitated seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, while Gray financed the project entirely from her own resources. The structure utilized a skeleton with hollow-brick infill walls, elevated on slender to navigate the uneven terrain and preserve panoramic Mediterranean views, complemented by a flat roof and locally inspired shutters for climatic adaptation. These methods emphasized economy and precision, integrating custom elements like built-in storage and dual-purpose furniture conceived during the build to optimize the compact L-shaped layout. The villa reached completion in , marking the culmination of Gray's hands-on involvement in transforming the raw site into a of adaptive . Its construction process exemplified her shift from furniture design to architecture, honed through prior renovations in , prioritizing spatial flow over rigid dogma.

Initial Occupancy and Use

Upon completion in 1929, E-1027 was occupied jointly by its designer and her partner Jean Badovici, who had collaborated on the project. Intended as a summer vacation residence perched above the at , the villa functioned primarily as a private retreat emphasizing seclusion, functional interiors, and integration with the coastal landscape through features like adjustable shutters and terraced orientations toward the water. Gray and Badovici resided there together for approximately two years, utilizing the space for personal work, reflection, and modernist experimentation in living. Their occupancy ended in 1932 following the dissolution of their relationship, at which point Gray bequeathed the property to Badovici without removing her furnishings or personal effects. During this initial phase, the house also began serving as a venue for entertaining architectural and artistic friends, shifting somewhat from Gray's vision of introspective solitude toward more social use under Badovici's direction. The villa's early significance was underscored by its documentation in the winter 1929 special issue of L'Architecture Vivante, edited by Badovici, which included Gray's own article detailing its design principles as a "" of adaptive, human-centered . This publication, produced contemporaneously with occupancy, emphasized the house's role in advancing flexible spatial and furnishing solutions tailored to seaside living.

Ownership Changes and Challenges

Post-Gray Period and

Following Eileen Gray's departure from the villa in the early 1930s amid her separation from Jean Badovici, ownership transferred to Badovici in 1932. Badovici, who had collaborated on the design and for whom the house was originally intended as a weekend retreat, maintained sporadic use of the property thereafter, though it saw limited occupancy as a private residence. In 1938 and 1939, Badovici's associate stayed at E-1027 and executed a series of murals on interior walls without Gray's authorization, altering elements of her original design scheme. These interventions, comprising figurative and abstract motifs, were painted directly onto surfaces including bedroom and hallway walls, reflecting Le Corbusier's personal interpretation of modernist expression despite the house's established aesthetic. During World War II, after Italy's entry into the conflict in 1940 and subsequent German occupation of the region, E-1027 was requisitioned by Axis forces, first by Italian troops and later by German soldiers. The German occupiers used the villa's structure for weapons training, firing at its walls and causing extensive bullet damage to both exterior facades and interior features, including the recently added murals. This wartime misuse compounded structural vulnerabilities from the site's coastal exposure, initiating a phase of deterioration that persisted beyond the conflict's end in 1945.

Mid-20th Century Decline

Following the death of Jean Badovici in 1956, E-1027 remained unoccupied for four years, registered in his name with his sister as heir but showing no interest in the property, leading to early signs of deterioration from lack of upkeep. In 1960, , who had long admired the villa, arranged its sale to Marie-Louise Schelbert, a wealthy Swiss acquaintance unable to raise funds himself, after which Schelbert owned it until her death in 1980. Under Schelbert's ownership, the received minimal and was infrequently visited, allowing structural decay to accelerate amid exposure to the coastal environment, including of metal elements and of the white-rendered walls. By the late , the interiors had lost much of their original integrity, with remaining Gray-designed furnishings vulnerable to removal. In 1980, shortly before Schelbert's death in , her physician Peter Kägi secretly extracted nearly all surviving original furniture—estimated at up to 28 pieces—and auctioned it in , depriving the villa of key artifacts and exacerbating its abandonment. Kägi then inherited the property, during which period rumors emerged of its use for illicit gatherings, further contributing to vandalism and disrepair by the mid-1980s.

Key Controversies

Le Corbusier's Unauthorized Alterations

In 1938, , staying as a guest of Jean Badovici—the villa's occupant following his split with Gray—painted the first two murals on E-1027's interior walls without obtaining permission from , the house's designer and original owner. Encouraged by Badovici, applied the paintings in April 1938, covering sections of the minimalist white surfaces Gray had intended to prioritize and spatial purity. Gray, who had vacated the property around 1931 after her relationship with Badovici ended, learned of the changes and protested vehemently in correspondence dated April 28, 1938, from , labeling the intervention a violation of her design. Le Corbusier returned in 1939 to expand the murals, ultimately creating approximately eight works featuring abstract forms, landscapes, and figurative elements including nude figures, executed in bold colors directly on the walls. These additions contrasted sharply with Gray's original aesthetic, which emphasized clean lines, functional furniture, and unobstructed views of the Mediterranean, effectively imposing his purist style—developed in prior works like those at —onto her architecture. Badovici, caught between the two architects, rebuked for overstepping, informing him that he had exhausted his welcome at the villa. The alterations exacerbated tensions in modernist circles, where Le Corbusier's actions were later critiqued as presumptuous, given Gray's exclusion from the process despite her foundational role in the building. Gray's objections highlighted a disregard for , as the murals obscured sightlines and altered the perceptual experience of spaces she had calibrated for and . While Badovici's occupancy provided a basis for the invitation, the lack of Gray's consent underscored ethical questions about interventions in another architect's work, influencing subsequent preservation debates over whether to retain or remove the murals.

Disputes over Attribution and Credit

The villa E-1027 was initially presented in architectural discourse as a collaborative effort between and Jean Badovici, its commissioner and nominal owner. In the 1929 special issue of L'Architecture Vivante, edited by Badovici, the project was titled "E 1027: Maison en bord de mer par et Jean Badovici," attributing authorship jointly and framing it as a shared vision for modern living. This portrayal persisted in early histories, influenced by Badovici's role as a prominent and his financial stake, though archival evidence, including Gray's drawings and correspondence from 1926–1929, indicates she handled the full design and construction oversight independently. Gray later contested the joint attribution, asserting in private letters and interviews that Badovici contributed only peripheral technical input, such as site coordination, without influencing the architectural or interior concepts. Her marginalization as a female designer in male-dominated circles exacerbated the issue, with Badovici's editorial control over publications effectively co-opting credit during their personal relationship, which ended around 1930. Scholars have since affirmed Gray's sole authorship based on primary documents, noting Badovici's lack of comparable design credentials—he trained as an engineer but focused on criticism—and the absence of evidence for his substantive creative role. Further disputes arose from Le Corbusier's retrospective claims, particularly after 1938, when he referenced E-1027 in writings and built his adjacent Cabanon (1951), positioning the site within his Purist narrative and implying intellectual kinship or influence over Gray's work. While not directly redesigning the villa, Corbusier's promotional efforts, including photographs and essays linking it to his oeuvre, contributed to narratives downplaying Gray's originality in favor of a collective modernist ethos. Gray, who destroyed much of her documentation in frustration, saw these dynamics as erasure, a view echoed in post-1960s rediscoveries by figures like Joseph Rykwert, who reestablished her primacy through surviving sketches and prototypes.

Restoration Efforts

Early Preservation Attempts (1990s–2000s)

In the late 1990s, Villa E-1027 had deteriorated significantly due to abandonment since 1996, squatting, vandalism, and exposure to seawater, prompting initial awareness among architectural preservation advocates. In the summer of 1998, New York art dealer Sandra Gering visited the site during a pilgrimage by concerned individuals and initiated advocacy for its salvage, highlighting the villa's cultural significance amid its ruinous state. By October 1999, the French government agency Conservatoire du Littoral, in partnership with the of , purchased the property from to prevent further decay, coinciding with its designation as a historic monument. stabilization measures followed immediately, funded in part by a $10,000 contribution from the newly established Friends of E.1027, a U.S.-based non-profit aimed at raising awareness and resources for the site's recovery; these efforts focused on basic structural securing rather than comprehensive rehabilitation. From 2006 to 2012, the Conservatoire du Littoral and local authorities, led by Chief Architect of Historical Monuments Pierre-Antoine Gatier, conducted the era's primary restoration campaign, targeting , roof repairs, and partial interior reconstruction to mitigate environmental damage. Despite these interventions, the work drew subsequent criticism for inaccuracies in replicating Gray's original modernist elements, such as furniture and spatial details, leaving unresolved issues that required later revisions.

Comprehensive Restoration (2010s–2020s)

The comprehensive restoration of Villa E-1027, led by the non-profit Association Cap Moderne, spanned 2014 to 2021 as a seven-year program to rehabilitate the structure, facades, built-in furniture, and surrounding garden to their 1929 configuration. This followed preliminary conservation efforts from 2004 to 2012 managed by the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (DRAC PACA) and the Conservatoire du littoral, which stabilized initial degradation but did not address full rehabilitation. The project repaired extensive concrete damage from prolonged exposure to sea air and salt corrosion, reinforcing the modernist framework while recreating original elements like nickel-plated steel furniture based on Eileen Gray's surviving drawings and limited historical photographs, such as one from the National Museum of Ireland. The total cost reached 5.5 million euros, with approximately 55 percent financed by regional authorities and the French state. Initial structural stabilization enabled a partial public reopening in June 2015, marking a key milestone after decades of neglect, though interiors remained incomplete. By , the full renovation concluded, restoring the villa to operational use as a site integrated with the broader Cap Moderne ensemble, including Le Corbusier's nearby Cabanon; access is now limited to guided tours to mitigate fragility from environmental stresses. The Association Cap Moderne, established to oversee site preservation, collaborated with historic monuments experts to ensure fidelity to Gray's design intent, earning recognition such as the 2022 European Heritage Awards from Europa Nostra for transforming the dilapidated structure into a protected cultural asset. In the early 2020s, supplementary efforts addressed remaining interiors, including a 2022 crowdfunding campaign targeting the dining alcove's fixed and freestanding furnishings using Gray's original materials and techniques, alongside improvements for disabled access. Visitor numbers have since doubled seasonally from post-2015 levels, underscoring sustained interest, but ongoing maintenance emphasizes the site's vulnerability, with protective protocols like visitor caps to prevent further deterioration.

Current Status and Legacy

E-1027 as a Site Today

E-1027 operates as a preserved modernist and site under the management of the Association Cap Moderne, in partnership with the French Centre des Monuments Nationaux. Following its comprehensive restoration completed in , the villa reopened to the public exclusively through guided tours, emphasizing its architectural significance and original furnishings. Tours, lasting approximately one hour, are scheduled daily at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., with bookings required via the official Cap Moderne website due to limited capacity of around a dozen visitors per group. As of 2025, the site attracts architecture enthusiasts and tourists, forming part of the broader Cap Moderne ensemble that includes Le Corbusier's nearby Cabanon and camping units, collectively designated as a French national heritage site. Visitor feedback highlights the villa's striking seaside location and restored interiors, though access remains controlled to protect the structure from further degradation. The site's popularity often results in fully booked tours, particularly during peak seasons, underscoring its status as a key destination for studying early 20th-century modernist design.

Architectural and Cultural Impact

E-1027 exemplifies modernist architecture through its open-plan layout, extensive use of for panoramic views, and integration of built-in furniture designed to enhance occupant functionality and comfort. Constructed from 1926 to 1929 on a terraced hillside site, the villa employed sliding partitions and layered spaces to balance openness with privacy, offering a nuanced alternative to the doctrinal of figures like . This approach emphasized the building's adaptation to its Mediterranean environment, with elements like pivoting windows and adjustable screens facilitating natural ventilation and light control. Architecturally, E-1027's legacy resides in its demonstration of "nonheroic modernism," prioritizing everyday human experience over monumental ideology, which has informed critiques of and studies of domestic spatial dynamics. The structure's innovative detailing, including custom fixtures and material transitions, underscores Eileen Gray's focus on the intimate relationship between architecture and user, influencing later explorations in adaptive and . Its 2022 European Heritage Award from Europa Nostra recognized the comprehensive restoration as a model for preserving modernist icons, ensuring its continued study in architectural education and practice. Culturally, E-1027 symbolizes the overlooked innovations of women in early 20th-century , gaining prominence through Gray's belated recognition and the villa's role in narratives of authorship disputes. Featured in the 2015 film , it has entered popular discourse on modernism's interpersonal tensions, while as part of the Cap Moderne site, it attracts scholars and tourists examining Riviera intellectual history. The villa's survival and highlight 's capacity to evolve while retaining historical integrity, contributing to broader conversations on heritage conservation amid coastal development pressures.
