Room to Improve

Room to Improve features Ireland’s favourite architect Dermot Bannon who sets out to create a diverse range of beautifully designed and cleverly built homes. Dermot is ready to take on an array of properties, some with quirkier challenges than others. From pebble dash to plywood, from steep embankments to faux Georgian pillars, this year’s clients will need to be trusting, with an architect who is known to be persistent.

Our homeowners are more informed, more opinionated and more demanding than ever before. But similar to all other seasons, there is only one person who they feel can make their household dreams come true.

Dermot is passionate about design and will go to any lengths to persuade his homeowners to take on his ideas. This year, he has three quantity surveyors to work with, all determined to keep his designs on budget.

The role of the architect is sometimes designer, sometimes mediator and always perfectionist. Dermot shows no signs of slowing down, as pushes his creativity and his passion to the limit with stunning results.
