Where to start

My friends and I made reservations to visit the house over 2 months ago because we knew that spots filled quickly.

Come April 16th, we unfortunately got stuck in CDMX’s crazy traffic, which caused us to be 10 minutes late to our 3:30pm appointment. We arrived at 3:40pm and were extremely unclear as to where to go to tag along on our *scheduled* tour. Turns out we were waiting at the wrong building. We even asked a woman who worked there what to do, in which she replied that we should “go to the other building and ask to join our tour.” We did such, and were surprised to find that our efforts were useless, as the woman we consulted with denied our request to either join our tour or tag along with the 4:00pm group. She even denied our asking if we could get refunded for a situation that was completely out of our control.

My suggestion: don’t bother going here. Go to San cristobal instead and immerse yourself in Luis barragán’s original piece. You’ll be much more pleased with the outcome and the woman who runs San cristobal is lovely. The group of people who run the studio museum don’t have a clue how to engage in customer service relations.

Still haven’t received a refund for accidentally arriving 10 minutes late to a prepaid scheduled tour. Very disappointed.

One of the greatest Architects in the world, no doubt about it. Barragan's Studio and Home. Come and discover why is one of the finest architects and about it's legacy. By the way he wasn't architect he was civil engineer. How ever he won the Pritzker award.

It's highly recommended that you book a tour in advance. I only found out about needing a tour once I got to Mexico, so it was a rush to grab the last spot before I left the city. Although the tour was in Spanish (I would have preferred English, but they were sold out), I was still able to understand enough of what was said to find the hour and a half or so worthwhile. The tour guide was able to clarify my questions in English, which was great! The house is well kept, and almost everything is in its original state! Photos are an extra $500 pesos So here are some exterior shots.

Was very excited to go but the lady at the entrance denied us access as we didn’t speak Spanish and therefore couldn’t join the tour. Shame!

They don’t have English interpretation even tho they know we don’t know any Spanish. I paid for my camera however I was not able to take many photos because they won’t allow me to be apart from the interpreter. And to be honest, don’t pay for your device. So many ppl are trying to take photos without paying and agree with all those 1 star review that the staff was VERY RUDE.

I was a walk in and they where kind enough to accommodate me with a group. If you are an architect, if you are Mexican, you will love this place. The house that 2nd Pritzker winner designed and lived in.

Came 30 min late the staff was super rude. Said they would close soon (we came at 1pm, they close at 2pm). They did not let us in nor reschedule nor reimburse us. Bad vibes this place.

Summary: don't go here. Go to casa gilardi instead. It's just 3 blocks from there. They have the same architect plus a welcoming attitude.

They bounced us back and didn't refund our tickets. The English speaking guide (a guy) was super rude almost slammed the door in our face.

Fascinating look into the home of Luis Barragán. Well worth the entry fee. Great tours offered in English and Spanish.

An opportunity to get to know Barragan better, not only as an architect rather than as a man. And he was a bit creepy to be honest.. The casa is well preserved. The staff was not well informed on many issues that we asked.
A must see in Mexico city for architects and most visitors.

Just don't go. I am a culture vulture and was won over by the great reviews on google. The thing that cemented my disappointment is the customer service. First of all it is not possible to purchase 2 adults and 1 senior online in the same purchase which, in this day and age, is unacceptable. Fortunately I used paypal so as not to be stung by two transaction fees from my bank. Worse still, when we arrived the ticket checker asked me, in a very accusatory manner, if one of my party was a student. Obviously he had seen that one of the tickets I was claiming was at the concession rate of 200 pesos but he couldn't see why, even though online I had specified that the concession was for a senior. He made me feel like I had done something suspicious which set things off on a bad note. On top of this nobody welcomed us in a friendly manner to the attraction. Everybody was downbeat, something I didn't expect from what, in Mexico city, is a very expensive attraction. I don't think I saw one smile once from any of the attendants.

Now for the guide. He spoke in a very low voice which is not really what you want when you are doing a guided tour. Perhaps, as it was his first tour of the day he was saving his voice for later. He never smiled. My tour was in Spanish and I do speak Spanish. It could be true that I am not accustomed to the Mexico City accent but I had to cup my ears to hear him. The commentary is pretty obvious anyway, example, 'opening the window allows more light in'. He was not dynamic.

Perhaps you might be able to enjoy the house a bit more if you could take pictures but, oh no, you have to pay 500 pesos ($26) for the privilege. The entrance fee alone is expensive enough and to not be allowed to take pictures, just adds insult to injury.

The house itself is boring and feels ghostly. It does not hold anything remarkable. There are a lot of religious references. The morbidness of the surroundings and constant feeling of 'watch where you step, don't touch anything' made me feel claustrophobic and want to leave.

Neither is their any reference to his body of work. It is just a complete waste of time. I wish I had used that morning to go to a real place of cultural appreciation.
