The Curutchet House in La Plata was designed by Le Corbusier for the surgeon Dr. Pedro Domingo Curutchet, who commissioned it in 1948. Amancio Williams supervised construction. The infobox gives 1949 to 1953, and the text says construction started in 1949 and finished in 1953.
The article calls the style Modern. It applies Le Corbusier's five points of architecture and has a ramp, a spiral staircase and a brise soleil on the main facade. It reinterprets the Argentine courtyard house. It has four main levels, a small ground-floor medical office and a courtyard between house and clinic, facing Paseo del Bosque park.
It was restored from 1986 to 1988 and inscribed by UNESCO in 2016 with sixteen other Le Corbusier works. It now houses the Buenos Aires architects' association and is open for tours. The article gives no materials, dimensions or hours.
