The preserved home of Mexican architect Luis Barragán allows visitors to view a primary example of his famous architectural style.
We had a fantastic time in Mexico City. But without a doubt, our top stop was the Casa Luis Barragán. His use of color, light, and nods to local tradition were expert, creating subtle rhythms of overlapping spaces, room-by-room, as well as between inside and gardened-outside views. Tip: there is a-not-insignificant cost to take photos. If there are more than one in your party, go for one person to be your photographer. The halls are narrow, but the staff are pretty good about letting one or two straggle to snap their shots as the hallways and rooms empty.
