Carmody Groarke builds chainmail shed around Mackintosh's Hill House
One of the most important works of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh has been temporarily encased within a large transparent shed, called Hill House Box.
London architecture studio Carmody Groarke has built the large structure around Hill House, the residence Mackintosh built for publisher Walter Blackie in 1902.
"Rather than incarcerate the house away from view whilst the restoration is undertaken, a more radical approach to active conservation has been taken," explained Carmody Groarke, which is led by architects Kevin Carmody and Andy Groarke.
