The Willow Tea Rooms

Architect: Charles Rennie Mackintosh

The strangeness of this design caught my attention so much that I immediately became interested. This was the first case I had heard of an architect being brought in to design rooms instead of entire structures, and further shows how much there is to learn about architecture. One very interesting fact I came across that makes this project so unique to me is that not only did Mackintosh design the inside and outside of these rooms, but he also helped design the cutlery and dresses that the waitresses would wear. Currently undergoing refurbishments until 2018, it is definitely a place I would like to see in person.
