Scotland-Glasgow

The Lighthouse was Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s first public commission. The building, designed in 1895, was a warehouse at the back of the printing office of the Glasgow Herald. Mackintosh designed the tower as water tank to protect the building from the risk of fire. The former Glasgow Herald building was renovated and launched as The Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Architecture, Design and the City. The Lighthouse remains a succesful visitor attraction and hub for the creative industries in Scotland.
