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.
