Petit cabanon

Caught a little exhibition of Le Corbusier's petit cabanon at RIBA - on the last day.
The beach hut was wonderful. Only 12 feet square but it has everything you need. No kitchen; there was a good restaurant next door! It's been recreated by the furniture company that's reproducing his furniture designs. You want to move in immediately, enjoy the mediterranean views...
You can see inside via this video. Doesn't the bed look small?
The outside walls were blackboards and chalk was supplied for visitors to add comments. Irresistible...
