The [[Fondation Le Corbusier]], established in 1946, is a private foundation and archive honoring the work of Le Corbusier. It owns and operates [[Maison La Roche]], a museum located in the [[16th arrondissement]] at 8–10, square du Dr Blanche, Paris, France, which is open daily except for Sunday.

The Foundation also owns Maison Jeanneret (which forms the foundation's headquarters), as well as the penthouse apartment with rooftop garden occupied by Le Corbusier from 1933 to 1965 at rue Nungesser et Coli in Paris 16e, that is used as guest housing for visiting scholars working in the Fondation Le Corbusier archives. It also owns the "Small House" he built for his parents in [[Corseaux]] on the shores of [[Lac Leman]] (1924).

Maison La Roche and Maison Jeanneret (1923–24), also known as the La Roche-Jeanneret house, is a pair of semi-detached houses that was Le Corbusier's third commission in Paris. They are laid out at right angles to each other, with iron, concrete, and blank, white façades setting off a curved two-story gallery space. Maison La Roche is now a museum containing about 8,000 original drawings, studies and plans by Le Corbusier (in collaboration with [[Pierre Jeanneret]] from 1922 to 1940), as well as about 450 of his paintings, about 30 enamels, about 200 other works on paper, and a sizable collection of written and photographic archives. It describes itself as the world's largest collection of Le Corbusier drawings, studies, and plans.<ref name=foundation/><ref name=parisinfo>{{cite web|title=Musée: Fondation Le Corbusier – Maison La Roche|url=http://en.parisinfo.com/paris-museum-monument/71409/Fondation-Le-Corbusier-Maison-La-Roche|publisher=Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau|access-date=18 March 2014}}</ref>
