Local ‘forest house’ to feature tonight on Room to Improve

A stunning Donegal home is to be featured tonight on RTE’s Room to Improve.

Forest House by McCabe Architects is the home of award-winning photographer, Paul Doherty, and his girlfriend Brodie Nugent O’Leary.

The design was awarded Residential Project of the Year in the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2020.

Posting on his Instagram account, presenter Dermot Bannon, gave a ‘sneak peak’ of the beautiful he visits on this week’s episode “for a bit of inspo.”

Set in a native silver birch woodland near Kilmacrennan, the building was designed to blend seamlessly into its stunning secluded setting.

Doherty’s vision was a home inspired by his travels around the world which did not disturb local wildlife and left the site as untouched as possible.

His vision aligned with Declan McCabe, and the result is a stunning sustainable and functional home that has featured in countless building magazines.

Forest House won its first ever award in 2020 in the rescheduled Irish Construction Industry Awards.

Awarding the prize of Residential Project of the Year (Small), judges praised the sustainable credentials of the property.

The home was hailed as a beautiful design created by McCabe Architects that “respected the site while also adding an immense amount of aesthetic and functional value.”

Forest House used reclaimed stone, burnt timber cladding and most furnishings have been made by Paul and Brodie themselves.

The couple are continuously working on completing the home and their current project is a wood-carved bathtub by sculptor Gintas Carving.

Room to Improve goes out on RTE 1 at 9:30pm tonight.
