For sale: home by one of our top architects

THE WALLPAPER House in Woods Place, Cork, was the first domestic commission for architect Tomás de Paor, who has just scooped the Architect of the Year Award in the UK.

The design for the house, which was an infill project in a very tight space, won an Architectural Association of Ireland Award at the time. Right now, that same house is on the market.

Priced at €250,000 through Diarmuid Dooley of Dooley and Howard, there's a bonus with the sale: Tom de Paor would love to revisit his eight-year old commission and would be more than willing to give a few tips to new owners.
