The Gilardi House is considered one of the most important works of modern architecture in Mexico and Barragan’s final masterpiece. Through this project he experienced using new methods and different elements. There are special touches in this work that make it different than any other. For example, the Jacaranda tree that the house surrounds is of a big importance and considered an icon that the house is known for. The client Francisco Gilardi made a deal with Barragan which is to respect the presence of the tree as a part of the house no matter what. Thus the tree became the heart of the house, it gives life to the place as the colors of it reflect on the light pink and white exterior walls. Inside the house there is a corridor that is filled with yellow light whenever the sun strokes the yellow painted glass plates covering the huge window on the side wall. When you pass the corridor to the dining/living/ swimming room, you will see the famous red wall standing next to an indoor pool and another blue wall. This alone defines the modern aspect of Barragan’s work, the simplicity of design combined with the creativity of applying. Barragan created space, serenity and peace in the Gilardi house through the use of light and color only, which is something that was not introduced in Mexico until he came up with these designs. -Yung, Kenneth.
