 BBC - h2g2 - Portmeirion, Cardigan Bay, Wales
The justification for this point of view comes from an examination of his masterpiece, the village of Portmeirion in Wales, which he built in two phases between 1926 - 1939 and 1954 - 1972; the break being occasioned by his wartime service.
For example, it is executed throughout in the Italianate style, not exactly all the rage in Cardigan Bay, and it has a life-size concrete ship moored at the jetty.
Portmeirion is actually a very fine piece of architecture, combining as it does striking looks, variation within a unified theme, and a surprising sensitivity to the surrounding landscape.
