There are several Villages that I know of named kells in Ireland. One in Co.Fermanagh , Co.Meath, and also in Co.Antrim where this beautiful home is located.

There is more than one “Kells” on the island of Ireland, and this one is in Northern Ireland.

A great house that flows beautifully.
One point though; Kells is in the Republic of Ireland!

By homage, do you mean copy?

Lovely house – assume it’s an homage to the work of Hugh Newell Jacobson?

I love that the “staggered cottage effect,” as Lance put it (couldn’t have put it better) still adheres so well to the establishment of Irish cottages. Immediately I knew this had to be somewhere in Ireland or Northern Ireland… and what do you know!? It’s so brilliant. Again, it’s livable, it seems bright (which I imagine is important during long, cloudy winters) and everything, landscaping included, has a rustic and yet refined, clean feel. Wonderfully executed. Can I get this prefab?

Very nice concept. It almost looks like a tiny village.

I love this house. It’s a testament to the architects and designers that they can make such a white house so warm. The land of course is what warms everything up, along with some wonderful warm toned sofas, etc.

But what I love most is the staggered cottage effect. A truly unique, liveable and stunning design.
