Liamor is an exceptional contemporary residence with an irregular “H” shaped layout, creating courtyards north and south. The overall design is based on the American “Great Room” principle of centralised maximum living space with ancillary rooms off each corner. Removing hallways and lobbies while using sliding doors throughout gives direct access to the kitchen, dining and living room which make up this impressive central living space. The ancillary rooms offer flexibility in use of accommodation with multiple access points to the exterior.

Never having been built on, the plot became available in 2021. The practical layout and low energy plan was imagined by the Owner, created by John Butt Architect at Brian O’Kennedy’s Office in Douglas, Cork and meticulously constructed in 2022 by Liam Casey of Lidan Design to exacting passive house principles, offering outstanding energy efficiency, modern comfort and timeless architectural appeal. South facing with shaded glazed areas positioned to maximise sunlight at all times and set on a beautifully private site of 0.4 acres, this remarkable home enjoys an enviable location just a short stroll from the vibrant harbour town of Kinsale, with its renowned restaurants, cafés, shops, schools, and leisure amenities.

Awarded a A2 BER rating, Liamor performs beyond passive with a current total energy bill of just 50 euros per month. It has been meticulously built using premium materials and cutting-edge technology to create a home that is both environmentally conscious and economical to run. The property features high-performance triple-glazed windows throughout and double glazed 2.6m high sliding doors, while an advanced indoor climate control by Nilan Ireland offers air to air heating, cooling and ventilation, further enhancing efficiency and occupant comfort. Hot water is via a separate indoor heatpump unit by Ecovolt, housed in the plant room. Highly efficient it sits alongside the solar battery which stores 5.4 kws of electricity generated from the solar roof panels or night rate electricity, further adding to the overall low energy demand.

Exceptional insulation is at the heart of the home's performance with 300mm of insulation within the external walls, roof and floor, significantly reducing heat loss and contributing to consistently comfortable internal temperatures regardless of the season. All appliances are triple A rated and lighting is low energy.

Inside, the home is defined by its clean contemporary design and impressive sense of space. 4.5m high sloped ceilings throughout enhance the light-filled interiors, while polished concrete floors provide a seamless, modern finish that is both stylish and practical. The shower areas have been finished in elegant resin, creating sleek, low-maintenance wet spaces that complement the home's minimalist aesthetic.

The main residence comprises three generously proportioned double bedrooms, offering comfortable accommodation for family living. To the rear of the property is a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment, providing excellent flexibility as guest accommodation or independent living space.

Externally, the property is approached through an electronic entrance gate, offering privacy and security. The landscaped grounds provide ample outdoor space with endless potential for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.


Combining exceptional energy performance, contemporary architecture, premium finishes, and an unrivalled location, Liamor represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding home in one of Ireland's most sought-after coastal towns. Whether as a permanent residence, a luxurious retreat, or a multigenerational family home, Liamor delivers an exceptional standard of living just moments from the heart of Kinsale.
