ALL ACROSS IRELAND, passionate people are devoting their creative spark to making extraordinary homes. From major renovations or humble restoration projects, to building a new home from scratch, or creating unique and homespun interiors, Allianz want to bring you behind the front doors of these special homes. But first, they need your help to choose which ones.
Each month, we’ll bring you two amazing homes to choose from. Whichever you vote as your favourite will then be entered into the Allianz Amazing Home of the Year with the opportunity to win a very special prize at the end of 2026. But the best bit is, we’ll work with each monthly winner to create a behind-the-scenes video for you to tour.
In this first edition of Allianz Amazing Homes, we’re looking at two projects in Co. Cork. Which is your preference?
Home 1: Sarah’s Cork Home
Set on a family farm outside Kinsale, this Georgian-style home draws on classical architecture to create a house designed to stand the test of time.
Whether you’re into grand designs or the little details, this magnificent and bright stately home is truly vision board worthy.
Home 2: Little Victorian Terrace Cork
Charming meets classic with this perfect pink exterior and timeless polished finishings. This 135-year-old Victorian home blends heritage architecture with eclectic modernity, rich colour, and sustainable, upcycled elements.
Small but mighty, this cosy home brims full of personality and is clearly built with love.
So which home would you like a tour of? Vote now in the poll at the top of this article.
If you’ve built or renovated your own home and would like to see it featured on Allianz Amazing Homes, reach out to us by email at competitions@thejournal.ie subject line Amazing Homes or through Instagram @thejournal_ie
Winner is announced next month.
