Between the end of WWII and his death in 1964, Le Corbusier designed and built five Unité d’habitations. This 1961 housing bar, located on the upper plateau of a river valley and looming high above a mature stand of European Beech trees was constructed in Briey. In order to free the ground plane from the car, the parking is relocated into two long bands to the north of the site and lit with a broad ceiling of lamps. The new plaza, resting between the parking and entry, inversely is floor-lit by embedded lamps. A large lawn with one symbolic Tulip tree replaces the previous parking lot as a foreground to the eastern façade and is framed to the south by an orchard of fruit trees set in a prairie. Integral to preserving the vitality of the forest, parallel strings of beech are planted within the mature but partially decaying canopy.
