00:00I am fervently, feverishly, unabashedly, eagerly and hyperbolically keen to start the search for Northern Ireland's House of the Year.
00:12And the field is wide open.
00:14Will this year's winner be a terrific townhouse?
00:17A noteworthy new build?
00:20Or an amazing apartment?
00:23And it could be any of them, quite literally.
00:25Because what really matters is just how much heart and soul the owners have put into turning their house into
00:31a dream home.
00:33And they're back, our expertalicious judges.
00:37Jane Lama's architectural practice designed the home recently deemed the best in Ireland at the industry's top awards.
00:44She's lectured in architecture for more than a decade.
00:47I can't wait to get going and I'm keeping an open mind when it comes to colour.
00:52James Fairley started his career as an architect before turning to interiors.
00:57His award-winning practice specialises in creating luxurious spaces for clients.
01:03Maximalist, minimalist, minimalist, bring it on.
01:08And Patricia McGuinness is co-owner of an exclusive interiors boutique.
01:12She's played a part in creating the look of some of the coolest homes and most fashionable hotspots.
01:18I'm literally chomping at the bit this year.
01:20I'm looking forward to seeing lots of wrinkly casualness and I am not talking about Lawrence's suits.
01:25Three terrifically juicy judges, 15 fabulous homes.
01:29Let's get the quest for House of the Year started, shall we?
