Portmeirion Village Building, The Unicorn, VB9
Portmeirion

The Unicorn From The Portmeirion Village Buildings Collection.

This high quality hand painted resin model of The Unicorn in Portmeirion Village is one of six models produced by Portmeirion. This collection is now long discontinued and these models are quite hard to find.

The Unicorn was built in 1965 in the Palladian Style to accommodate hotel guests.This was one of Clough Williams-Ellis's favourite buildings at Portmeirion as it embodied his philosophy that good design need not necessarily be expensive.

The Unicorn's classical Georgian facade creates a false sense of scale, making the building seem larger than it really is. Clough enjoyed showing the Unicorn in all its splendour before taking guests around the back to find that in reality it is only a flat roofed bungalow.

Approx Dimensions:-

6 in (15 cm) x 4 in (10 cm) x 3 in (7.5 cm) to the top of the pediment.
