Charles Rennie Mackintosh's most famous and beautiful domestic commission was Hill House. Set high on a hill in Helensburgh, this architecturally eclectic house overlooks the river Clyde. The building is unmistakable due to Mackintosh's completely asymmetrical design. Consisting of numerous different roof levels and shapes, with the exterior derived from the interior planning - the house is truly unique. It was built for the Scottish publisher Walter Blackie as his family residence. Mackintosh was responsible for almost all aspects of the house from the exterior to much of the furniture and internal fixtures and fittings. The house is now maintained by the National Trust for Scotland. The Landmark Trust keeps the top floor available for holiday lets, well worth a visit!

GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART (BACK CATALOGUE)
11in high, 6.5in wide, 2.5in deep and 7lb approximately.
Glasgow School of Art's Mackintosh Building, "The Mac" or "Toshie" as it is commonly known, was voted Britain's favourite building of the last 175 years in a 2009 RIBA poll. It has been at the heart of the Glasgow School of Art's campus. Building work was started in 1897 to a design created by the school's most famous alumnus, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. He was a leading proponent of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements in the United Kingdom. The Mackintosh Building is his masterwork. Unfortunately it was consumed by fire recently and its future is uncertain.
Our architectural sculpture is of the slightly off-centre entrance facade. The facade is asymmetric with tower like masonry walls and small windows remembering Scottish baronial architecture.
Each of our architectural sculptures is handmade in our studio in Sussex, England. They are made of strong plaster that has a reassuring weight and smooth, cool feel. The window frames and door are made of etched brass. Stylish ornaments, gifts or presents that are handmade in Britain and look fabulous on a desk, shelf or wall.
Address: Glasgow School of Art, 167 Renfrew Street, Glasgow, G3 6RQ, Scotland.
WILLOW TEAROOMS
12in high, 5.5in wide, 2.5in deep and 6lb approximately.
The Willow Tearooms are probably the most famous of Glasgow's many tearooms that opened around the beginning of the 20th century. They were designed entirely by Charles Rennie Mackintosh: he designed the interior, the furniture, internal layout and external architecture as well as the cutlery, menus and the waitress uniforms. The Willow Tearooms are on Sauchiehall Street. The name "Sauchiehall" is derived from "saugh", the Scottish word for a willow tree. This provided the initial design ideas for Mackintosh and his patron Miss Cranston. Willow was the basis of the name for the tearooms and many of the decorative motifs. Our architectural sculpture is of the asymmetric facade.

BAUHAUS DESSAU
11in high, 7in wide, 3in deep & 5.5lb approximately.
The Bauhaus Dessau was designed by Walter Gropius in 1925 to house the Bauhaus design school. The building bares many similarities to his critically acclaimed Fagus Factory. The school was responsible for launching the Modern Movement and shaped much of the architecture of the 20th century.
The Bauhaus Dessau with its strong lines and simple form is an outstanding example of modernist architecture.
MOLLER HOUSE
