The Menil House, designed by Luis Barragán in the 1950s, was intended to be a serene and minimalist residence for the Menil family in Houston, Texas, blending modernist architecture with Mexican vernacular elements. Barragán's design emphasized natural light, courtyards, and a harmonious connection between interior and exterior spaces. Despite the ambitious vision, the project was never realized due to logistical challenges and difficulties in executing Barragán's distinct architectural style in the Houston context.
