The Hill House was a building ahead of its time—revolutionary within the Arts and Crafts movement in the United Kingdom and a significant precursor to modern architecture. Both Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh worked together to create interiors rich in aesthetic detail and an exterior that harmonized beautifully with its surroundings. In this instance, we focus on a small part of the building where that sense of harmony reaches its peak—rising, metaphorically, to meet the clouds in the sky.
"I was eager to explore this building through its proportions and the details of its outer envelope. Eventually, through photographs, I selected the part that felt both calm and expressive in its forms. The dots closely echo the building’s surface finish, growing denser as the structure recedes into the background. The lines drawn across the paper shift inconsistently, interrupted by the texture of the textile surface—creating a sense of static atmosphere. In the end, the piece reflects the harmony of a domestic architecture that sought to challenge and push the boundaries of what was expected at the time."
