Charles Rennie Mackintosh's drawings of a House for an Art Lover were entered in a competition "Haus eines Kunstfreundes", in 1901. The entry was a collaboration with his wife Margaret Macdonald, who designed some of the interior details.
The present day House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park was completed in 1996. It faithfully follows Mackintosh's design intentions.
