The Hunterian Art Gallery and Mackintosh House were built in the wake of an expansion of the University of Glasgow in Scotland. They are part of the gallery-library complex by architect William Whitfield. Whitfield designed the building’s façade with exposed concrete in a variety of finishes, including uniformly rough textures and bush-hammered sections. Notably, the corner portion of the building is to some extent a reconstruction of the Victorian end-of-terrace house, that at this place used to be inhabited by the artists and designers Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Mackintosh, and which was demolished for the university expansion in the 1960s. Whitfield’s Brutalist building duplicates the shape of the demolished house giving visual hints to the Victorian predecessor. The internal layout inside the exposed concrete container is the same as the original, and the preserved interior from the Macintosh’s was carefully inserted. 

In use and good condition.
