Glasgow School of Art is probably the most well known Charles Rennie Mackintosh building and certainly his most well respected. Powerful sandstone block with dark, woody interior - save the bright hen run high up on the south facade - perched on a steep incline. This is architecture of global importance, recorded in most Histories of 20th Century Architecture. Powerful influence for Art Nouveau and later for Modernism.

Hill House, Upper Colquhoun Street, Helensburgh, north-west of Glasgow
1904

Hill House was designed for publisher Walter Blackie. After the Glasgow Art School, Hill House is one of Rennie Mackintosh's best known buildings. Mackintosh's style is often seen as not only related to fin-de-siecle Art Nouveau but to the burgeoning Modern Architecture movement. This Rennie Mackintosh building typically works with the Scottish traditional architecture, often referred to as the Scots Baronial, the rustic architecture of towers and crow steps.

House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, Glasgow
1901; realised 1989-96

Charles Rennie Mackintosh building constructed to his original plans in Bellahouston Park. The House for an Art Lover resulted from a competition design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901. House for an Art Lover was built on the former site of Ibrox Hill House in 1989-96 with the assistance of the City Council. Graham Roxburgh and architect Professor Andy Macmillan were instrumental in creating Rennie Mackintosh's House.
