In 1901 the Glaswegian architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, completed an extraordinary house for one of the few patrons of his career, William Davidson. Due to his enlightened client, it would be the first time he had unbridled control over the design. Windyhill, in Kilmacolm, Scotland, still stands as Mackintosh’s first prototype house and marks an evolutionary point in his oeuvre.
Windyhill was the first prototype house from world renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is his last remaining project still used for its own original purpose. Part of the charm of the house in comparison to other remaining examples of his work is that it is a working home, a dwelling house. Completed in 1901, the house was pivotal in Mackintosh’s artistic and creative development.
