Description: | IH s. and inscr. b.r. "Chas. R Mackintosh / 140 Bath Street / Glasgow ..."; inscr. in pencil t.r. "HOUSE AT KILMALCOLM FOR WM. DAVIDSON JUNR. / PLAN SHEWING [sic] DRAINS"; other notes and measurements DES MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) Windyhill, Kilmacolm, designed in 1900-1, was Mackintosh's first major domestic commission. The client, William Davidison, was to become one of Mackintosh's most loyal patrons. Davidson had previously commissioned furniture from Mackintosh in the 1890s for his property at Gladsmuir, Kilmacolm. Windyhill faces west over the Renfrewshire countryside. Its convenient L-shpaed plan, subsequently used also at The Hill House, places the principal apartments on the main axis, with the service wing at right angles to it. Here Mackintosh favoured the methods and forms of the unpretentious Scottish vernacular tradition. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN : PLAN : WINDYHILL, KILMACOLM : BLACKIE, WALTER : DRAINS : KILMACOLM : CRM ONLINE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
