A house designed by renowned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, managed by the National Trust for Scotland. The house was built in 1902-04, and includes furniture designed by Mackintosh and his wife. The building fabric has not taken kindly to the west coast weather and in 2019 the NTS erected a "box" over the house to protect it from rain, which also provides a rooftop walkway. The attic rooms are available to rent as a holiday flat, and there is a tearoom and shop. The gardens have been restored to the original design and are free to visit all year.
The Hill House is a villa in Helensburgh, Scotland, designed between 1902 and 1904 by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Commissioned by publisher Walter Blackie, the house was conceived in an innovative manner and is noted for its forward looking design and construction techniques. The building is characterised by an austere, unornamented exterior finished in grey roughcast and drawing references from Scottish vernacular and baronial architecture. Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh also played a key role in the project designing and making interior elements. Her total contribution as with many Mackintosh projects remains the subject of ongoing debate but it is accepted that the major architectural composition is by Mackintosh. In 1982, the property was donated to the National Trust for Scotland, which continues to maintain and open it to the public.
