The House for an Art
Lover is a building constructed between 1989 and 1996 and based on a 1901
design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh with his wife, Margaret MacDonald. The
building is situated in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow.
Appreciating the art design
The house was originally
designed for a competition for an architectural design for a "Haus eines
Kunstfreundes" (Art Lover's House), set by the German design magazine
Zeitschrift für Innendekoration. Despite disqualification due to late entry and
unfinished sketches, the portfolio was awarded a prize for its "pronounced
personal quality, novel and austere form and the uniform configuration of
interior and exterior".
Inside the house
traditional Victorian designs are juxtaposed with modern concepts, and displays
the blending of masculine and feminine, natural forms with abstract thought, or
simple concepts with complex designs.
