This ambitious masterplan proposes a transformative new marina destination to the west of Kilrush town centre. The scheme envisions a vibrant, mixed-use waterfront quarter, integrating new residential and residential care facilities, commercial and tourism spaces, a hotel, and a dedicated watersports area.
A core principle of the design is its sensitive response to a complex and historic context. The masterplan carefully navigates the site’s proximity to a number of protected structures and addresses the technical challenges of a coastal flood risk zone. Central to the proposal is the creation of a new green waterfront connection, which provides a significant public amenity and seamlessly links the new development to the existing town. The result is a resilient and cohesive vision for a year-round destination that respects Kilrush’s heritage while unlocking the full potential of its unique coastal setting.
