The Villa Savoye is actually the Corbusier building I was mostly thinking of. It's just frigid as a private human dwelling. I could see the same general style of architecture producing something cozier, but I think that the first thing that would have to happen is something about scale. The house is too big, and the spaces in it are too big too. There's too much space between the easy chairs -- and at least for photographs, that placement is necessitated by the vast empty space around them.
On the other hand, I am so glad you showed me that church. That's a hum-dandy church. It's whimsical: it's inviting: it's a place you could stand around with your fellow parishioners and gossip, probably mostly on what a joke the church is. That's not a sarcastic remark: I think that a substrantial number of public buildings ought to be funny.
