LMC BUILDING

Very interesting building by Le Corbusier! Nice restaurant inside, terrace at the top. Check the boutique on the 3rd floor!

As a designer, I truly adore this place and accepting public visitors for free. Magnifique.

Oooh yes! From a life managing and working on large public housing to finally visiting the mothership. I can see how it works in its totality, with all its component parts. Mind you, Unité and Trellick Tower have been colonised by the cool middle classes. No more of your workers and working class. Still, it’s a heck of a building and an idea.

Worth a visit! Public access to roof & floors 3&4. There is a hotel & nice spot for a drink. The views from the roof are amazing , go just before sunset ( well in winter since sun set is early )😉

It’s not just a historic building, there is amazing view from rooftop (almost 60m high) If you want to view Apartaments on tour guide I recommend to book week before, we arrived on Thursday and it wasn’t possible until Wednesday… You can feel „good times” there They have very good beers in the restaurant 🍺

Went by car, found a place to park easily on the parking of the building. It is wonderful to see it if you have the time, but it is not a must. We spent around ten minutes analyzing and taking photos and that's it. Still, nice to pay respect to such an art piece.

Deservedly a Marseille must-see. We had a highly knowledgeable English-speaking guide booked through the Tourist Board. There aren’t many English-language tours so do plan ahead. I won’t repeat the history story of this experimental building. Nor debate its pros and cons. All this is covered very fully by Perplexity. What I will say is that my opinion was given nuance by actually seeing Unité d'Habitation in context, in person, and inside. Admittedly a very niche interest, but it was also great to put on Peter Doig’s shoes and imagine him conceiving his ‘Concrete Cabins’ series of paintings.

Must visit if you are a fan of Le Corbusier. I visited on a Sunday and did not need to book a tour to access the building which was what I had thought from the website. I think they allow access everyday now, but could be worth checking before visiting. It was free. You may access a few floors, The rooftop and get a coffee or food at the hotel that has a cafe or buy an architecture book at the book shop. The place is fantastic in real life and has really been taken care of and appreciated by the Commune which I find often rare. Highly recommend.
