Built in 1947-48 on a quiet street in working-class Tacubaya, this was architect Luis Barragán's home and workshop until his death in 1988. Behind an austere concrete façade unfold a double-height living room and library, a sunlit mezzanine, an overgrown walled garden and a roof terrace of coloured planes, all kept with his furniture, books and art.
