Home of the Year returned to RTÉ One this evening with judges Hugh Wallace, Amanda Bone, and new addition Siobhan Lam.
This year's series will deliver a fresh batch of stunning houses every Tuesday, celebrating creativity, individuality, and clever design in homes across the country.
This week, viewers were treated to a stone-built farmhouse in Cork, a revamped contemporary home in Kildare, and a traditional cottage in Dublin dating back to 1850.
Joan Woods and Richard Bradburn, Cork
Joan and Richard live in their old stone-built farmhouse, surrounded by animals and the sea.
In 2006, having lived in London with two small children, the family decided they needed a better quality of life and moved to West Cork. Estimated to originally date from the mid-19th century, the building was dilapidated, damp, and cold, with any period details long since removed.
Over two years they rebuilt it using only traditional materials and methods, with natural or recycled materials, breathing new life into their home with a classic period style, natural fabrics and materials creating a warm family friendly home.
The family describe the style they went for as being period, natural, rustic and organic as they wanted to be sympathetic to the farmhouse building and heritage of the property and its surroundings.
Their children have just left for college and the couple love that they each have their own spaces in the home. Writer Richard has his study, while Artist Joan has her studio.
Vivian Wong McKendry and Philip McKendry, Kildare
Vivian and Philip live in Co Kildare with their three dogs. During the height of the Covid pandemic, the couple moved into an empty shell of a house - no kitchen, no flooring, not even a functional bathroom.
After eight long months their redesign began, with the two having worked hard on design plans and the layout, completely changing the internal function of the house.
Vivian and Philip went for a contemporary mid-century style, creating a cohesive yet visually stimulating aesthetic throughout the house. Although the build was time-consuming for the couple, it was all worth it, as they created the show stopping home they had always envisioned.
Claire Hawkins, Dublin
In its original form, Claire's 1850 home was quite a small and traditional cottage, but having undergone an incredible renovation it is now a warm and welcoming house with plenty of space for dancing.
Gutting the whole house, the family undertook a full energy upgrade by heaving up the foundations, walls, roof, windows door, and more - bringing the property from a C2 to A+ rating and adding a small extension to the rear.
The main bonus of these renovations, aside from making the home warmer, was the windows in the front of the house could be made bigger so they could view the sea from almost anywhere inside the house.
Claire loves the views and the open airiness throughout the home and that there’s lots of space for dancing with her three children!
