In 1902 and 1903 Charles Rennie Mackintosh build the Hill House for the publisher Walter Blackie and his wife. Mackintosh did the opposite thing on what other architects do, he first designed the interior and then dictated the exterior. Hill House is built on a hill above the town. This house was built near the sea. Mackintosh didn't do architecture only but he did some furniture and other features. He was the first designer who introduce integrated art-architecture. This architecture is influenced by the style of Art Nouveau. Mackintosh wanted his interior to come to live. By this, he created a great composition in terms of form.
The bay in the drawing room has a relief effect on the walls, its ornamental momentum that the furniture fits in. Mackintosh liked to work his furniture in a squares way. If you can see the
As you enter a house of Mackintosh you'll notice that it's his design because the hallway has many lights and shadow, dull wood and elegantly stencilled friezes.
Mackintosh design in that time of period was standard, mirrored, boxes. This style that they are still building nowadays. His theme was Scottish baronial style in an L shape. The tower, was dismissive of the standard, symmetrical, square boxes which passed for "design" in his day (and are still being built). His underlying theme is a Scottish baronial keep or castle, in an L-plan shape. As we can see this building had a tower that is on the side, an arrow thin window, parapet, a garden It even has a tower in the corner, some narrow arrow-slit windows, a parapet and gardeners.Mackintosh wanted people to see his handwork that he did in the exterior by the shape of horseshoe opening .
This is something similar to the high-based chair that it's in the hill house and created by Mackintosh. This is called The High Back Chair it was designed in 1904 by Josef Hoffmann
This house in near Turnberry it was built in 1791. Now it has become a rented house. The house style is from Glasgow style which inspiration came from the Scottish designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. As I can see in the room there is the high-backed chairs, the pattern trough out the room, the contrast of white and black although Mackintosh design. But as a wood furniture, he used black or white.

Interior
We see the squares and rectangle "art and craft" furniture. They are all lined with the doors and walls. the light fittings and windows are mottled with many squares and rectangles.
I'm gonna focus more on the master bedroom as an interior The master bedroom is placed upstairs. This room was used by Mrs Blackie. If you take a look at it the rooms colours are so neutral. allot of white is in this room then you see the pink and rose ornaments. the master's bedroom faces west and the setting sun.
He liked to work with “pierced square”. These are the motif that Mackintosh used them in architecture, furniture design and even the design of the carpet. The motifs are found in the cabinet doors, chair back, and the lower shelf of the centre table.
This room remind me of my grandmother's house. This is because as you see the room its gives you a calm feeling. I'm not saying that they are the same style but the both of them gave me the same feeling.
Some architects like to make a distinctive between the interior and the exterior but with the Hill House, it's possible to notice which room it is, by looking at the exterior.
Exterior
Mackintosh designs where influence by many designers and architects one of them was his friend Josef Hoffmann. This is the Max Biach residence, circa Hoffman’s bedroom suite in 1904. Here we see a proof of Mackintosh’s influence. the influence is shown in the repeating patterns that the wall has, the shapes use of squares and circles and the combination of natural colours.
What's the similarity between them both?
They both are high back and in the back have has straight lines Even does elements of boxes they both have one of them are big and the other are quite small.
