Barragán in Tacubaya
Casa Ortega, Casa Estudio Luis Barragán and Jardín 17 sit on the same stretch of General Francisco Ramírez in Tacubaya, with Casa Gilardi a short distance away — a tight cluster, but one that only works as a plan if visits are reserved ahead rather than attempted as a walk-up.

Across the street from Casa Estudio Luis Barragán, Jardín 17 extends the architect's domestic experiments into a long, enclosed landscape.
Before his own house and studio, Barragán used Casa Ortega to explore the relationship between domestic space and an enclosed garden.
Advance booking required
Casa Gilardi compresses many of Barragán's central ideas into a narrow urban site.
