Our past is alive in our old buildings, says architect Hugh Wallace as he presents the new series of The Great House Revival.

Mary-Claire Waters and Sean Sully Sullivan have bought a north Cork property dating from the 1830s. “These structures tell of our past and offer sustainable solutions for today’s housing needs,” says Hugh as the fourth series starts on RTÉ One.
