HOME RESCUE 2018: EPISODE TWO – DUBLIN CITY
Tuesday 6th November 2018 at 8.30pm on RTÉ One
Architect Róisín Murphy, builder Peter Finn and the crew come to the rescue of Latvian mum Maria at the small apartment she shares with young sons Armands and Lukas and her mum Gita.
With two year old Lukas and granny Gita in one of two bedrooms and Armands in the other, Maria has relegated herself to a corner of the living room which also houses the dining area and the kitchen. To add to the problem, an adjacent closet is packed to the ceiling with clutter.
Róisín plans a complete redesign of these two dysfunctional rooms, but there’s barely space to work. As the clutter-busters get busy, the team is forced to relocate the entire contents of both rooms to the vacant classroom of a nearby college, squeezing a mini-skip into an alleyway outside.
Even empty, there’s so little space in the apartment that Peter and the crew find themselves refitting the kitchen to make the most of every available inch. When Róisín announces her plan to transform the tiny closet into a laundry, the build-design balance is strained to the max and that’s not all.
Somehow, a single room will have to function as a kitchen, a dining room, a living space for a family of four and a bedroom for one.
It hardly seems possible.
This is going to take all the design ingenuity and cunning craft that Róisín, Peter and the team can muster.
Goodbye Clutter. Hello Makeover. Welcome to Home Rescue!
