house for an art lover by charles r. mackintosh and margaret macdonald
let's start with this video,
hill house, front
hill house, side view with side garden
what do we see here?
1. bare, harled, brutal exterior...
2. the vast colliding masses anticipates Le Corbusier and 1960s brutalism.
3. the prominent gables and conical-topped turrets, point to Baronial and vernacular design,
4. the interior features ornate, organic stencilled designs and coloured glass in light fittings and balusters.
5. the Hill House Chair are influenced by Japanese design.
a masterpiece!
