Works of engineering, particularly ship design, inspired the design of Villa Savoye. The aesthetic similarities of the exteriors of the Villa Savoye and Villa Muller are in no way continued beyond the threshold of their white shells. The interior arrangement of the Villa Savoye allows the building to be simply divided into three distinct floors, with a consistent height for all of the rooms on each level. The ground floor contains the entrance hall, utility rooms, garage, servants' quarters. Part of the ground floor is a driveway created for the inclusion of the automobile as an integral part of the design. The majority of the living functions are located on the first floor, while the rooftop contains the private rooms ofMadame Savoye and the rooftop garden.
