Jardín 17
Open to the public
Jardín 17 is the walled garden across the street from Barragán's house, once its annex and, since its restoration in 2016, open for exhibitions and public programs.
Facts
Jardín 17, across the street from Casa Estudio Luis Barragán, served as an annex to his house and studio.
It stretches his domestic experiments into a long, enclosed landscape.
Jardín 17 never shows itself as a single view.
Paths, walls, dense planting and a reflecting pool reveal the garden gradually, like a slow interior landscape.
Alberto Kalach led the restoration of Jardín 17 in 2016.
He kept the established planting and completed the reflecting pool, and the garden reopened for exhibitions and public programs.
