The Immeuble Clarté in Geneva was designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. The text says design began in 1928, and the infobox gives construction from 1931 to 1932. The article names no client or materials. The infobox lists Modernist. The text describes an early project in which Le Corbusier explored modernist principles in apartment buildings, later leading to the Unité d'Habitation concept.

It has 45 free plan units of varied configurations and sizes. The infobox gives nine floors, while the text says eight stories. Pascal Haüsermann and Bruno Camoletti are named as renovating architects in the infobox.

The building escaped demolition in the 1960s and was renovated in the 1970s. It was threatened again in the early 1980s and listed as a historic monument in 1986. It became part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2016. It is an apartment building, and the article gives no hours.
