Right! Who is looking forward to this for the next 8 weeks?!

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:29pm

Looking forward to it!

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:35pm

I know that Declan guy!!!! Well know his office.

There is him and a few other guys in a shop?? in Terenure and a little cute DOG that sits in their window!!!!

They put a new drawing on the window every now and again.

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:35pm

Oooh that's a nice viewing point

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:36pm

Where is this cottage located?

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:37pm

OMG the location!

This is one big "cottage"!!!!

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:38pm

I like the big man and his scarf

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:39pm

I am not sure about that jetty

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:39pm

Am I on my own, talking to myself here

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:40pm

The bedrooms is very sterile

Tipperary????

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:41pm

Ok no I don't like the outside of this house

Lol, nah you're not. I liked the house but didn't love it. I think there'll be nicer out there. I love these kind of shows

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:41pm

:eek:
Those floods!!!!! The poor people

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:42pm

Oh no! Get rid of that furniture!

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:43pm

Yes it's like two yocky chimneys.

He was a principal in an architecture practice that went wallop back in 2009, but he's back in business again. I recall he featured in the RTE 'work experience' programme years ago- he had a couple of contestants designing the fitout of a Peter Mark hair salon.

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:44pm

Ha ha ha the cat's chair!

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:44pm

The cat's chair!!!! lol

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:45pm

They will HATE the old furniture when they see it!

CarpeDiem85 · 26-03-2015 9:45pm

I like the shell of this house but not how it is decorated unfortunately.

useless · 26-03-2015 9:45pm

That woman is getting on my nerves...

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:46pm

Like the inside (ish), HATE the outside

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:48pm

It's a good programme so far!

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:50pm

Think I will like this

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:50pm

Fair play to them

Quazzie · 26-03-2015 9:51pm

Missed the first half.

Not a fan of this "house" though.

Bored_lad · 26-03-2015 9:52pm

Anyone know the name of the company she started I'd probably love some of her pieces.

useless · 26-03-2015 9:52pm

All it's missing is a fixie in the hall... defintely looks like a house inhabited by a beard

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:52pm

This one is interesting.

But I don't think the couch works

Is it NOPE????

CarpeDiem85 · 26-03-2015 9:53pm

A bit of this and a bit of that. I love looking at it, very intriguing but I wouldn't like to live there. I love my cosy symmetry too much.

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:53pm

Oooh! Argument!

BabysCoffee · 26-03-2015 9:53pm

That was funny!!

Quazzie · 26-03-2015 9:54pm

How can this be home of the year when it appears to be only two rooms?

There was an article in the Irish Times today about her aprilandthebear.com

atech · 26-03-2015 9:55pm

Just caught the end of the 1st part; they he say the bedrooms have no windows apart from the one at the top?

Any idea how they got that to comply with part B regulations which require escape windows in case of fire?

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:55pm

It's a very cool house...when it is finished :pac:

Quazzie · 26-03-2015 9:55pm

The whole house could do with a lick of paint to be honest.

Not a fan of the "weathered" look at all.

Thanks for that. Can't see how I didn't see that article earlier on the website will definitely read it tomorrow.

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:57pm

I really don't like that chimney house

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:58pm

It's a lot of white in that bedroom

amdublin · 26-03-2015 9:58pm

Grrrr too short in half hour :mad::mad::mad:

Did it score the lowest?

CarpeDiem85 · 26-03-2015 10:00pm

I think the right house went through. Making me think that I'd love to build my own house.

amdublin · 26-03-2015 10:01pm

I'm not sure. Lowest or else tied with the other house.

Lowest with 23. Scores were 23,24,25

I would say there is instead a defined fire-rated exit route from the bedrooms out through the ground floor, avoiding the kitchen etc.

amdublin · 26-03-2015 10:03pm

Did anyone else find it too short??

Way too short!!

No. I was tuned in, half paying attention, then not logged in. Then cooking. I only go to see bits of it. One of the presenters complaining about the furniture, the cat on the chair.

I thought they were actual chimneys the way they looked from the outside. But they turned out to be skylights.

Were they comparing like with like? I didn't see enough of it to be sure....
