## Caption

Between 1926–1929, Irish architect and modernist Eileen Gray designed and built E 1027, a white, angular villa in France’s Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the Côte d’Azur. It was her first major architectural work and she designed it to be a living space that integrated her artistic vision both inside and out — from her distinctive furniture designs to the villa’s floor-to-ceiling windows and sunken solarium. Already a well-known furniture designer, Gray was one of the pioneering architect-designers of what would come to be known as the International Style. 

By every measure, she ought to be as well-known as her male contemporaries, if not more so, as E 1027 was the first Modernist building completed by a female architect. However, the story of E 1027 — and what happened to it during the 20th century — has cast an oversized shadow across Gray’s broader biography.
