Featuring a self-built home in Down, an 1800’s cottage with extension in Galway and a horseshoe-shaped converted stable in Dublin.

Architect Robert Logan designed his own home and his parents' next door. He lives with wife Julie and two daughters in a self-build modern Antrim farmhouse. His property is one of three assessed by judges Hugh Wallace, Deirdre Whelan and Peter Crowley, along with abodes in Dublin and Down.

The judges visit a manor in Belfast, a renovated Victorian villa in Dublin and a West Cork writer's retreat.

The judges examine a house converted out of three flats, a contemporary South Dublin home with a black and white colour scheme, and a slate house with sea views in Kerry.

The judges examine a renovated Victorian terraced home in Dublin, a cottage with a modern extension in Louth and a contemporary `upside-down' house in Dublin.

The judges examine a derelict church in Co Limerick, an artist's abode and a home originally built in a back garden.

Judges Hugh Wallace, Deirdre Whelan and Peter Crowley choose the last finalist for this year's contest from a 1960s Dublin bungalow, a period home in Galway, and a self-build.

The homeowner finalists assemble as judges Hugh Wallace, Deirdre Whelan and Peter Crowley crown the winner of this year's competition.
