Casa Ortega
THE TAKE
Barragán's first house and the rough draft for everything that made him a legend, lived in by the family that has kept it almost untouched.
WHY IT’S WORTH IT
1Luis Barragan designed it as his own home in the early 1940s, his first mature work and the testing ground for the light, color, and walled gardens that later defined Casa Barragan next door
2Still lived in by the Ortega family, so it survives as a time capsule with original pieces by Clara Porset and Barragan rather than a restored set
3The terraced garden is the whole point, a wild green secret in the middle of Tacubaya that almost no one gets to see
