Eco-friendly Cork house is Home of the Year

It’s a house fit for a king, an economically friendly king, and it’s just been crowned RTÉ’s Home of the Year.

The West Cork home of retired couple Ita Molloy and Andrew Harvey was designed to fit into the landscape and the split-level passive abode is completely eco-friendly. It has triple-glazed, floor-length windows that let in the sun’s rays and an interior concrete wall that essentially works as a giant storage heater, soaking up heat during the day and letting it out at night.
