Arlene McIntyre Design transformed this expansive 6,000 sq. ft. private residence overlooking Kinsale Harbour into a calm, refined modern retreat that balances architectural clarity with understated luxury.
Working in close collaboration with our clients, who shared a deep appreciation for modern minimalist design, the brief centred on creating a home defined by simplicity, elegance, and a strong sense of tranquillity, without sacrificing warmth or liveability.
The design approach focused on clean lines, purposeful detailing, and functional beauty, allowing the breathtaking harbour views to take centre stage. A key feature of the project was the bespoke redesign of the state-of-the-art cinema room, conceived as an immersive yet visually restrained space that complements the home’s overall aesthetic.
Throughout the residence, carefully curated interiors combine custom elements with a restrained material palette, ensuring every detail serves both form and function. The result is a home that feels effortlessly calm, cohesive, and timeless, a serene sanctuary rooted in modern minimalism and crafted for contemporary living.
