Room To Improve - Dermot's Home

Exciting new developments in computer technology, chemistry and physics are now enabling us to understand Nature's designs better than ever before. Scientists are not simply trying to copy nature - they are taking hints, extracting principles and applying winning designs of evolution in a new, human context.

Dermot's vision for the house is mirrored by similarly grandiose ambitions for the garden - a wild jungle whose design he hands over to landscaper Diarmuid Gavin.
