This house was built posthumously. Charles Mackintosh originally submitted preliminary sketches and designs as part of a contest. When this house was built, designers and architects needed to look at Mackintosh’s original designs and reconstruct what the intentions would have been, since detailed plans were never drawn up.
Am I seeing a room done up entirely in lavender and cream? Matches the windows but is a little too much for me. Like the light fixtures. (As if the Mackintosh purists care what I think.)
ReplyDeleteMackintosh was departing drastically from the dark wood that was common then. It is a bit much, but there are so many design elements that if he got too Manu colors going it would be a mess.
ReplyDeleteToo many colors...
