Windyhill, Art Nouveau residential building in Kilmacolm, Scotland.
Built with harling exterior walls and deep-set windows, Windyhill stands in an L-shaped layout with a two-storey apsidal stair tower on Rowantreehill Road.
William Davidson, a Glasgow provisions merchant, commissioned architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh to design and construct this residence between 1900 and 1901.
The interior design represents the Glasgow Style through the fusion of modernist principles with traditional Scottish architectural elements and carefully selected furnishings.
The property extends across two acres of land, featuring a main volume containing family rooms and a secondary section designated for service areas.
Initial reactions from train passengers compared the building to a barracks, marking a departure from conventional residential architecture of the early 1900s.
