My personal favourite is Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Apart from the fact that he routinely overan the budget by a large amount he would be the one to build me a house. If you let him he would design the house and everything in it, right down to the cutlery.
Along with his wife Margaret Macdonald, an accomplished artist and craftsperson, he is almost as well known for the interiors and furnishings as for the buildings themselves. It say a lot about him that our state gallery, half the world away in Australia, has one of his chairs on display in its furniture exhibit and reproductions are still being manufactured 90 -100 years on.
