Luis Barragán House and Studio
House1948メキシコシティ, MexicoUNESCO
Barragán’s house and studio in Mexico City (1948)—colour, court, water, and light. UNESCO World Heritage; visits by reservation.
A restrained street front hides pink and ochre walls that shape height and shadow inside. Stairs, high windows, and a garden tree thicken emotion with few elements. A rare case where a Pritzker laureate’s own home is World Heritage.
Highlights
- Street façade — From outside, how much of the colour and light can you guess?
- Court and stair (on tour) — Is wall colour decoration, or the thickness of space itself?
