The experience
The former home and studio of architect Luis Barragán, completed in 1948 and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visits are by advance-booked guided tour only, moving through rooms where colour, shadow and natural light are staged with unusual precision. Interior photography is restricted, which keeps the experience quiet and attentive.
A near-meditative walk through one of the 20th century's most influential works of domestic architecture.
