Frida also worked in a studio which her friend  Juan O’Gorman designed. She lived with husband Diego rivera. the two buildings were connected by a bridge in which they could cross  to see each other.
When Diego eventually passed in 1957 Frida was no longer at the house full time. This is when she begun working out of both this and her family home.
