Bellahouston Park & the House for an Art Lover

Sunny day is getting harder to come by...gradually...as the short summer seems to be getting more n more shower these days.

I woke up early that day, 5 or 7am, dont remember clearly. I felt like I have one day long for 'something'. So, I went to the House for an Art Lover in Glasgow, a destination I found the night before which was enough to provoke my interest for a visit...

As for your info, it is designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a renown architect from Scotland (more specifically Glasgow) for his Art Nouveau style in collaboration with his wife, Margaret MacDonald for an ideas competition set by a German design magazine. Here, the house is apprehended as sole art exhibition that is embeded into every part of the interiors n details rather than creating evident spaces for galleries...

Before reaching the house...

the path that I walked through when I mistook the devious route in the Bellahouston Park
a sculpture attaches to a small yard.
probably it has its own function there.

the dining room, FOR TWO.music room with piano.so victorian-ly nouveau><the hanging lamp design. n 'leaves' at the top of the pillar.
the room is designed to be looked like 'a forest' as to create
a coherent visual relationship with the trees outside
like a banquet hall more than a music roomthe oval room depicting something feminine
