Description: | RH DES MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) During 1920 Mackintosh received commissions from the artists Harold Squire, Arthur Cadogan Blunt and Francis Derwent Wood for adjacent studios in a contiguous site near Mackintosh's own studio. This fronted north onto Glebe Place, Chelsea, and overlooked the grounds of the recently demolished Cheyne House.
For Francis Derwent Wood, Mackintosh designed a large, simple building in the farmhouse vernacular, much in the style favoured by Arts and Crafts architects before the outbreak of the First World War.
On the ground floor Mackintosh placed a sculptor's studio and workshop, which was lit up by a large window. On the upper floors Mackintosh placed painters' studios, including a separate access. The studio was never executed, perhaps due to difficulties with funding and planning permission. The collections contains a range of designs related to the project.
