Room to Improve

Our favourite architect is back with a brand new series of Room To Improve. Dermot Bannon returns with six exciting new projects. His challenge will be to deliver dream homes with maximum “Wow” at minimum cost: from suburban semi-ds to bungalow bliss.

As he endeavours to match his vision to their ambitons, Dermot’s clients include a couple who’ve ploughed over 20 years of savings into a dilapidated cottage; a fiesty sprout farmer taking on a self build in a seaside village and a young couple keen to rescue the legacy of an old farmhouse in rural Ireland.

With hopes and dreams to fulfil for home-owners who know exactly what they want from their architect, Dermot and his designs are under more pressure than ever: second-guessed by clients, ambushed by unforseen problems on site and forced to re-design as his grand vision outstrips the budget.

Expect last minute changes, construction dilemmas, frayed tempers, cunning plans, last minute rescues and impressive reveals.
