if you check out the address on google and street view it too, it's very easy to find. I used the metro and it's about a 3 min walk from Contituyentes station. Well worth a visit if you are a fan of modernist architecture. A very atmospheric spiritual home, Barragan 's religious beliefs are evident throughout. A new book is... More

It's pretty amazing and very hidden away in the burbs. A must for architecture fans. You need to make an appointment. More

This house close to the Metro Constituyentes built by famous mexican architect Luis Barragan in the 1950s is one of a kind. He played with light and color and very symmetric and reduced forms to bring the visitor into another world. More

You need to make an appointment to see Casa Barragan and it's not easy to find, but well-worth the trek. Designed and resided in by the great architect Luis Barragan, it's located in an unassuming neighborhood with graffiti-covered alleyways.

As mentioned in the other reviews, make an appointment ahead of time. I was very fortunate to walk up and make a same day appointment but I would advise calling ahead. The outside of this house is unremarkable. I walked right by it and had to be redirected by a local to the door. There is no easy way to... More

If you are planning to visit the house, it would be a great idea to make an appointment at least one day before, otherwise, you won´t be able to enter. The cost is $150 (mexican pesos) per person, but for mexican students, teachers and people with INSEN card there is a discount of $75 (mexican pesos). The tours are great... More

Barragan was a brilliant and very influential modernist architect. His house is quite an amazing place to visit, and i'm sure that even if you aren't an architecture buff, you'll probably have as spiritual experience as you'll find in a modernist building. More
