Completed in 1976, is the final residential masterpiece completely designed by the legendary Pritzker Prize winner, Luis Barragán. It stands globally as one of the most iconic, visually arresting backdrops for high-fashion editorials, avant-garde portraiture, and high-end commercial lookbooks.

Key Production Specs & Aesthetics:

• Architecture Style: Ultimate Mexican Modernist Minimalism. Built around a majestic, pre-existing Jacaranda tree, the house is a masterclass in clean geometric planes, dramatic light-wells, and bold, monochromatic color-blocking.

• The Visual Highlights: The location offers internationally recognized frames, including the vibrant pink entry courtyard, the ethereal yellow-tinted corridor that filters light like gold, and the hallmark indoor pool room with its stark blue, red, and white structural columns intersecting water and light. Every angle presents an entirely new, ready-made cinematic composition.

• History: Barragán had originally retired when advertising executive Francisco Gilardi approached him. Captivated by the property’s beautiful Jacaranda tree and given complete creative freedom, Barragán returned to work to build this vibrant, living artwork.

Logistics & Location:

• Neighborhood (Colonia): San Miguel Chapultepec, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City.

• Address: General Antonio León 82 (located between Calle Gobernador José María Tornel and Gobernador Melchor Muzquiz).

• Booking Notice: The property remains a private residence meticulously maintained by the original family. Location rentals are handled strictly by prior appointment and require highly specific photography permits, making it a highly exclusive, prestigious location to shoot.

Photo Session Note: The house changes completely depending on the time of day. The shifting angles of the sun create striking geometric shadows and alter the intensity of the colored walls, offering photographers a dynamic canvas of natural, diffused light throughout the day.
