Two Dublin properties and an Antrim abode feature in the final heat tonight ahead of next week’s final, in a series that has, sadly, rarely ventured into the Rebel County.
The Antrim home is owned by Rob and Janice McConnell - an architectural new-build on the coast with rich woodland and stunning sea views.
They wanted their modern home to fit in with its surroundings and decided to make it a single storey and use natural materials.
Donna McGrath and Mark Rusk live with their three girls in South Co. Dublin.
When the couple bought the site in 2015, they wanted to build a home that was light-filled with a strong connection between inside and outside.
To achieve this, they used floor to ceiling windows, a double height light well and lots of different types of wood.
Ella de Guzman and Stephen Ryan live in an 1800s home in Dublin city centre.
The couple bought it in 2011 and took on a huge renovation project. The Georgian home had originally been broken into a number of flats so they set about turning it back into a single dwelling property.
