Late in Life, Eugenia Errázuriz became a tertiary Franciscan (a lay nun), outfitted in a plain black habit designed by another minimalist, Coco Chanel. A fitting environment for this wardrobe was never built. Although Le Corbusier was commissioned to design her beach house in Chile, she let the project lapse before she died in Santiago in 1951, hit by a car while crossing a street at the age of 91. The house, to be known as Villa Eugenia, was eventually built in Japan.
