Hill House

From WhereToday




The Hill House is a private villa in Helensburgh, Scotland, designed between 1902 and 1904 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh. Commissioned by publisher Walter Blackie, the house was built in the British Modern Style and is noted for its innovative design and construction techniques. Margaret also played a central role in shaping the interiors, creating custom furniture and decorative elements. In 1982, the property was donated to the National Trust for Scotland, which continues to maintain and open it to the public.
