Towards the third decade of his life, Luis Barragan (1902-1988) had already developed an intense professional life that had driven him from his native Guadalajara to Mexico City. Until then, his work constructed in this city was a financially speculative activity, but also a correct and valuable exercise in the better modern architectural style.

Nevertheless, Barragan would consider these buildings as works of a “commercial stage”. The moment comes for the young architect to announce a sort of retirement to build a house and a manifesto. No doubt, the word was chosen precisely for its connotations. Luis Barragan acquired the lot where this house was built in 1939 near the Madereros Street —today Constituyentes avenue – in the Tacubaya neighborhood. He first intended to build a group of private gardens.

“The house that Barragan built for himself – wrote the architect Juan Palomar – was part of a lot where firstly a garden would be arranged and afterwards, 畑ohouses were designed consecutively: The first one, in 1943, which he sold afterwards, was a rehearsal of the definitive house, summary and climax of his thinking and his memories, and one of the absolute masterworks of 20th century architecture”.
