Interesting but foreigners from outside Latin America pay $6000 entry (6 usd). Includes a pamphlet and a talk, both in Spanish. Also you have to wait outside the house for someone to let you in, which isn't totally clear.

Check the times it is open before going to avoid disappointment. The city also has a guide you can access with this QR code.

Verblüffend kleines Haus für ein UNESCO Weltkulturerbe, leider ohne Souvenirs oder Material, aber mit ganz liebenswerten Angestellten, die einem spanisch mit ganz vielen Hilfen in englisch und Zeichensprache herzlich entgegen kommen.
Wir haben den Abstecher von Buenos Aires nicht bereut und können nur jedem dem Umweg empfehlen - wir haben ihn gerne gemacht!
Bennett Smith
Cool, inexpensive admission, interesting peek into what the original owners lives would have been like. Beautiful views of the plaza/park across the street.

Very good! I spent more than two hours taking pictures and exploring the house. Make sure you rent a car if your departing from Buenos Aires. Otherwise it will be a long trip by train or bus.

A must if you are in La Plata city.
Curutchet’s house is an architectural icon.
An example of Le Corbusier’s point of view.
You have to pay a fee in order to visit the place. A guide explains about the history of the house and then you can go around by yourself and appreciate the details.
Do not miss it!
Luis Picarelli
The Curutchet house is part of UNESCO world heritage program. This house is the only proyect from Le Corbusier y Latín América and is a perfect example of his architecture manifest. This house is eclectic, between modern architecture and brutalism, it is located in the middle of 2 pre existing houses and it articulate their facades. The house has lots of sensitive details that make it unique, and its really incredible the level of coherence achieved even when Le Corbusier designed it from the distance only with sheets and photos from the site. This house is real because of the good relationship and collaboration between the local architect Amancio Williams, another architecture master, that take care of adjusting, and fine tuning the project while building it. He was LC's eyes on Argentina and everything was resolved overseas by letters in a back and forth analog communication. This is a masterpiece, organically resolved and masterly design from conjunction of LC's mastermind and Williams's precise harmony with his ideas.

If you like Architecture, this house is a MUST.
The experience visiting the House could take you 40 minutes to 1 hour including the speech from the guide.
Designed by the Architect “Le Corbusier”.

As the directions from Buenos Aires to La Plata are terrible and we couldnt find the right bus we gave up and never went here. The stress in just finding the bus station and not finding the right bus put us off. I have no idea if it would have been worth it.
Anupam A. Gandhewar
It's very different kind of tourist place. Entry fee is little costly that too sometimes without receipts. But the creativity is amazing by considering the time of design.
Ayman Zaid
The only work in south america for Le Corbusier (pioneer swiss architect)
If you are foreigner you'll pay 150 pesos, if local 60 or 30, if local student 15 pesos.
You have about 30 minutes to visit all the house alone. Take photos and set a little bit on the terrace.
There are sketches for the place exhibited on 2nd floor, plus some of the house plans & sections.
