Limerick house makes it to Home of the Year final

AN upside-down house in Limerick has made it to the final of this year’s season of Home of the Year. 

The decision of which home has won the title of Home of the Year will be revealed in tonight’s episode, with the Limerick home among six other contenders. 

The unique upside-down house featured in this season's fourth episode of the show. 

Amy and Eoin Martin are the homeowners of the house, living in Limerick with their two sons. 

The couple fell in love with the 1970s built house and set to work completely gutting and renovating the home. 

Their work on the house brought it from a D3 BER rating to an A3. 

They call the property an upside down home with the main living and kitchen spaces on the first floor to make the most of their spectacular garden and the natural light. 

The home is a passion project for Amy, who is an interior designer and loves having the space to unleash her creativity, always in the middle of a project in the house. 

The family says they never feel blue coming back from holiday as, for them, it’s the nicest place they could return to. 

The episode featuring the Limerick home will air tonight, Tuesday, April 8 at 8.30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

The Limerick family’s home will be judged on the RTÉ show’s final episode of the season along with homes from Tipperary, Wicklow, Kildare, and three from Dublin. 

This year’s series of the popular RTÉ show has celebrated creativity, individuality, and clever design in homes across Ireland. 

Judge Hugh Wallace said of the series, "What I love most about Home of the Year is getting to see the incredible creativity, personality, and individuality that homeowners bring to where they live.  A home isn’t just about good design—it needs to be functional, with a layout that works, lighting that enhances a room, and an ability to capture views. But above all, a truly amazing home should bring joy. It should be a place that makes people happy every single day. That’s what we’re looking for in Home of the Year—homes that aren’t just well-designed but that have heart and soul."
