Room to Improve viewers were impressed by Dermot Bannon's modern revamp of an 1950s home in Lucan on last night's show, with some hailing him a "genius" for the unique design layout.
Dermot worked with couple Ross and Caitriona Boxshall from Lucan in Dublin, who bought their dream 1950s former council home in 2017 and they had plans for a massive and modern extension to accommodate their young family. The family's budget was a strict €195,500, and they sought help from Dermot to expand the home for their family and to do so on the tight spending limit.
On the show, Catriona explained how the couple fell in love with their house the moment they saw it. She said: "We decided 2012 was the right year to go house hunting and we came across this one and fell in love with it immediately. The asking price for the house was €217,000, we built up around €180,000 but we were willing to go up. We thought this is our house.
