}}Windy Hill or Windyhill is a house designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and furnished by him and his wife, Margaret Macdonald, in Kilmacolm, Scotland.[1] It is Category A listed and remains as a home in private ownership. Windy Hill is also the name of a hill in the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park which borders Kilmacolm.[2]

History

The house was commissioned in 1900 by William Davidson, a provisions merchant, who was Mackintosh's friend and patron.[1] Mackintosh not only designed the Art Nouveau-style house, but also, with Macdonald, its decor, furniture and fittings, including fireplaces, panelling, stained glass and lights.[1] They also designed the {{Convert|2|acre|ha}} garden.[1] The house was completed and occupied in 1901.[3] Job books and correspondence relating to the commission are held at the Hunterian Museum, who have made digital scans available online.[3]

Walter Blackie and his wife viewed the house, with Mackintosh, before commissioning him to design Hill House.[8][3]

Ownership

In 2014, the house's fifth owner, David Cairns, who had painstakingly sourced craftspeople to authentically restore it, placed it on the market for an estimated £3 million.[1] After it initially failed to sell, there were calls to buy it for the nation, to ensure its preservation.[4]
