This unbuilt house was envisioned as a private residence, reflecting Barragán's signature style of minimalist forms, bold use of color, and the integration of light and shadow. It would have blended harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, creating an intimate, contemplative space. Barragán's design would have prioritized a serene and spiritual atmosphere, which is consistent with his other works.
Although the Menil House was never realized, it remains an important part of Barragán’s legacy.
