Chana Orloff's Studio-Residence by Auguste Perret
In 1926, sculptor Chana Orloff commissioned architect Auguste Perret to build this house. It would be the first mid-sized atelier-residence Perret designed. Orloff knew him well, having met him in 1916 and even had her portrait painted by him in 1923.

The visit to the Chana Orloff Atelier-Musée reveals nearly 200 sculptures displayed in both the exhibition studio and the working studio. It also allows visitors to appreciate the distinctive spaces Perret created for Orloff in 1926. An intimate and moving setting, this residence-studio proudly carries the label “Maisons des Illustres.”
