What you’ll do
Step inside Casa Ortega, the first home Luis Barragán designed for himself in Mexico City and the place where many of his defining ideas first took shape. Built between 1940 and 1942, the house became Barragán's private experiment in blending architecture, gardens, color, and silence into one living space.
Move through preserved rooms, terraces, and gardens while exploring how light, texture, and landscape shaped Barragán's architectural language long before Casa Barragán became world famous.
