Home of the Year

RTÉ One, 8.30pm

Kevin Desmond has always been passionate about period houses and when he bought his home in Dublin in 2019 it was in very bad condition. It needed extensive work. 

Artist, Isobel Henihan, and her husband, Ian Kenny, built their house in the garden of Isobel’s family home.  Isobel’s dad is a retired architect who designed their home.

And Mark O’Neill’s two-bedroom apartment in Dublin is not a typical standard ‘box’, because it has some angles in its design. It looked a bit tired when Mark bought it in 2018 as it had been rented for a few years.
