In Atizapán (State of Mexico) is Cuadra San Cristóbal, the residence designed by Luis Barragán that will open its doors to the public in October 2025. It will become a cultural center where works by national and international artists will be exhibited.
The idea is that visitors can appreciate this work by the Mexican architect, in addition to promoting artistic dissemination. This was announced by architect Fernando Romero, who heads the foundation that has protected the Cuadra since 2017.
The project will include a permanent exhibition on Barragán’s career. Some models that reveal his architectural evolution will be exhibited. There will also be a collection of design pieces that belong to the Fernando Romero Foundation – around 2,000 works!
There will be a library, cafeteria, souvenir shop and a hall for events. Of course, all kinds of activities and artistic presentations will be held. In addition, every October there will be an award ceremony to recognize the best of design, architecture and cinema.
According to Reforma, the public will be able to see the new project in October 2025.
Let us remember that this splendid space has stables, a barn, meadows, a monumental fountain, among other attractions. The patio with a pool is one of the most attractive areas of this property that was completed in 1968.
The work belongs to the Los Clubes subdivision; its objective was to give it a country vibe and provide identity to this space. It should be noted that the composition is inspired by the rural haciendas of Mexico and influenced by modern art.
We can’t wait to see everything that will be in the Cuadra de San Cristóbal and continue contemplating the legacy of Luis Barragán. Save the date and organize everything to be among the first people to see the new project.
