Casa Luis Barragán, in Mexico City, was designed by Luis Barragán in 1947.
Our founding director Albert says: ‘My visit to this house soon after leaving University was what convinced me of the amazing possibilities a home can have in transforming everyday life. This was a space of complete tranquility in one of the world’s busiest cities. Beautiful, simple and powerful.’
