Unicorn (Yr Uncorn)

Portmeirion Wales

Unicorn cottage is a perfect example of Sir Clough's masterful perspective illusion in depth and scale.
It appears to be a large two storey mansion, but is in fact, a one storey bungalow.
This illusion is achieved by a combination of using a half-sized front gate,
converging ground slopes, and small scaled windows.

yr uncorn "one chimney" was used to decide that if the little cottages in Wales could be built in one day and if they could get a fire going and smoke through the chimney, they would not have to have planning permission ( I think !!! )
