Casa Pedregal

"The moment I stepped into this house, I felt like I was transported somewhere else. This Luis Barragan house is on the outskirts of Mexico City in an upscale neighborhood. It’s currently occupied by someone who bought it a few years ago. Our guide, Mariana Esqueda Pérez, said Barragan liked his houses to feel gloomy. And he believed that “the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery, and mystery.” This is exactly what it felt like. Email them to set up a tour. And when you’re done with the tour, go next door to Tetetlán, a delicious restaurant that used to be the house’s horse stables but got converted into a cultural center. "
