Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott was one of the most distinctive architects and designers of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Best known for houses and gardens, he also designed furniture, stained glass, embroidery and finely considered architectural details. His innovative planning - including early experiments in open-plan living - gave his interiors an enduring sense of warmth, flow and domestic ease.
This richly illustrated volume updates Diane Haigh's acclaimed study with new material and a substantial selection of Baillie Scott's own writing. Extracts from Houses and Gardens, correspondence with clients and critics, and reflections on William Morris and Modernism reveal an architect who wrote with intelligence, practicality and humour. An essential introduction to his buildings, ideas and lasting influence.
