After Le Corbusier desecrated Eileen Gray's E-1027 house with his murals, what some have equated to architectural rape, he was banished from the grounds. However, Corbu had fallen in love with the locale (and the house) and, somewhat creepily, perched himself above E-1027 (architectural stalking?). He somehow convinced the owner of the nearby cafe to allow him to attach a cabana, a tiny log cabin, to the back of the cafe (with a special-access door to the cafe) and to build a small, five-unit boardinghouse for beach visitors. Corbu also built (repurposed?) a shed to work in when he stayed at the cabana.
Gray had a 'WTF?" response to Corbu's activities above her house.
