Home of the Year: Clare eco build, Cork schoolhouse and 60s Dublin dwelling
Home of the Year judges Amanda Bone, Hugh Wallace and Sara Cosgrove.
An eco self-build in County Clare, a schoolhouse in Cork and a 1960s residence in Dublin will star as returns to our screens.
The 10th series of the popular property show starts on Tuesday, February 20, at 8.30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
It’s also architect Hugh Wallace’s 10th time appearing as a judge and he says he still loves “the feeling of walking into a home and being taken aback by the imagination and innovation of a homeowner and getting a sense of the work they’ve done, to turn a house into a home”.
“Two hundred and ten delicious homes visited over a decade and my heart still flutters with excitement to walk through the hall door and get inspired. Love it!”
Hugh will be joined by fellow architect Amanda Bone, who is returning in her fourth year as a judge, and interior designer Sara Cosgrove, back for her third series.
Looking for individuality, functionality, and clever design, the three judges will each score the homes out of 10, and the home with the highest combined score in each programme will go through to the final in April, where the winner will be crowned.
The series will feature re-imagined semi-detached homes, renovation projects, architectural homes, restored period homes and new builds in locations in Antrim, Clare, Cork, Derry, Dublin, Galway, Kildare, Louth, Mayo, Offaly, Waterford and Wicklow.
Since first appearing on screens in 2015, Home of the Year has celebrated the creativity and individuality of homeowners all over the country. Clever design and inspiring interiors will be showcased as viewers take a peek inside another 21 gorgeous homes located across the country.
John and Kasha live in an eco-minded self-build home in Co Clare with their daughter.
In 2021 the couple started their journey of building their contemporary house. John and Kasha were conscious of the environment when building the home and wanted a grass roof as a place for wildlife and bees to live.
Their home has a natural cooling breezeway designed for the summer months that brings the outside in, and, after working with the Jon Eliason Studio in Sweden, they decided on a 20-foot-high ceiling in the main room to allow the spectacular scenery to be a part of the space.
Aoife and Tim live in an end-of-road 1960s semi-detached home in Dublin, with their two young daughters, teenage son and four dogs.
The couple fell in love with the three-bed semi-detached house and knew they could create their dream home.
Ian and Sarah live in a schoolhouse built in the 1900s with their son, which they purchased in 2019.
When they bought their home, they had several internal renovations to complete, such as removing plaster to expose the original brickwork and levelling the floor in the great room.
