Early life

Dermot was born in the Malahide suburb of Dublin, Ireland on 2 May 1972.[3] When he was around seven or eight years of age, Bannon and his family emigrated to Egypt as his father had taken a job in Cairo before subsequently returning to Ireland after a number of months of residing there.[4]

When he was 18, he began studying in Hull School of Architecture in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England.[5] Upon graduating, Bannon returned to Dublin and joined the Moloney O'Beirne Architects. In 2006, he had noticed an advertisement for a presenter for a new television series called House Hunters.

A year later, Bannon began to work on RTE's Room to Improve.[6] Bannon's father died in 2007 before Room to Improve had aired. On 16 December 2008, Dermot founded his own company, Dermot Bannon Architects, with Ian Hurley as a company partner.[7] In 2015, Bannon released a book called Love Your Home.[8]
