Pol Gallagher scoops the $100,000
OMG! Fund from Airbnb to design a pod in his home county of Donegal, Ireland
Pol Gallagher, lecturer in interior
design and architecture at the
University of East London
(UEL), has won an international competition
with Airbnb worth around $100,000 to design a housing pod in Donegal,
Ireland.
The
$100,000 OMG! Fund
was organised by
Airbnb
, an online marketspace connecting
people with short-term homestays and experiences. It invited tens of thousands
of entries from architects and designers who presented their plans for creating
dynamic and creative homes in their chosen locations.
Pol’s winning entry was entitled
‘caislean oir’ [cash-lan-ore] which in Gaelic means ‘the gold castle’ – a
reference to a local Irish folklore story from the vicinity.
