A portrait of the iconic artist and architect, and their modernist masterpiece on the Riviera.

A stylish docufiction about iconic artist and architect Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by modernist star Le Corbusier.

The Irish artist and architect created some of the most iconic furniture of the 20th century, so when she focussed her unique artistic vision on developing a house for herself on the Riviera in 1929, the result was a modernist triumph. A house and a work of art in one, overlooking the sun-sparkled infinity of the Mediterranean.

E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea reconstructs the dramatic story of Gray and the house that Le Corbusier amazingly managed to convince the world he had built himself.
