Kinsale or LA? See inside this stunning contemporary coastal build

Suspended over a ravishing panorama of Kinsale sky, rock and pitching waves, this stunning contemporary coastal build by Richard Rainey moves Kya deLongchamps to unexpected silence

An architectural lens trained on an unrepeatable view, Sundance is set in an acre and half of precipitous marine views over Sandycove Island (Cnoc an Rois) inhabited solely by jealous generations of feral goats. 19th-century terraced cottages form a painterly cubist footing from the townland nestled into the coast road below. Architect Richard Rainey is a familiar name for landmark projects in Kinsale, and his recent one-off residential builds enjoy a deserved celebrity.
