Ferdinand Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Have you had an inheritance? Charles Rennie Mackintosh over Frank Lloyd Wright any day (except the high-back chairs which I suspect go flub at the back-of-seat joint). Charles Rennie Mackintoshes don't auto-collapse a few years after the architect popped his clogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Treating the question seriously (though you may be winding us up), that design (or a version of it) - CR's House for an Art Lover - was actually built in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow South Side in 1988-1996. Design is contemporaneous to Lutyens - was done in 1901. So you may have seen it. Vid: Piccies: Probably full of fantastic ideas and detailing, but with slightly austere "strong bones"; I've always enjoyed visiting CRM buildings. But I don't think I could live with one ... I'd take a Goldfinger. We did have someone on BH building something that was recognisably CRM inspired. Ferdinand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo demonstrates that and I don't think this one is in an exposed location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal render with 2 coats of white masonry paint stays white a lot longer than the through coloured / monocouche stuff, as well as being less prone to algae and mould.

The food in das cafe is not bad at all and it's only a stone's throw from the recently refurbished Burrell Collection costing the locals a mere £30m with top ups to the tune of £68.5m from other sources.
