It draws inspiration from Gala Éluard, the muse of Salvador Dalí, while its numerical name pays homage to the location on Calle 56 and the property number: 426. Constructed around 1910, this French-inspired building boasts a captivating Porfirian style. Throughout the years, it underwent several transformations, serving as a residence, a blacksmith shop, and even a bakery. These adaptations took a toll on its structure and facilities, resulting in a neglected and dilapidated state. The chosen strategy places a strong emphasis on incorporating contemporary elements essential for new purposes. Within Lagalá, you'll discover a boutique showcasing fashionable clothing, a restaurant, three art galleries, a conference room, and an open terrace. All of these elements seamlessly integrate into the building without compromising its essence, adhering to a cohesive vision.
