Britt and Taz from Western Australia are the red team building House 3 on The Block Daylesford.
The 30-year-old parents live in Newman, 12 hours’ drive north of Perth, where they are used to long hot days – very different to the cold Daylesford winter they are set to endure.

Britt and Taz’s backyard and pool reveal
Score: 37 ¾, third place
A creek, sauna, ice bath, deciduous trees, a greenhouse, a chicken coup and birdhouses formed Britt and Taz’s wellness inspired backyard.

Darren praised how every element had a purpose and a deliberate use.
The creation of a creek – a first in The Block history – drew a mixed reaction from the judges.
“Whilst I love the architecture behind it, I also think, well, a buyer will come here and go, ‘What is the purpose of that, versus the purpose of having more grass for the kids to kick a footy?’” Marty said.
Dave was “on the fence” and said it would photograph well and it was sustainable.
Shaynna disagreed: “This is like a childhood dream, like, I know you've got little kids, I've got grandkids, and I can see them just spending all their time out here and not coming inside.”
Darren particularly liked the distinction of the two pools, with one plunge pool light in colour, while the spa was dark.
The cabana drew confusion as to why the controversial pilates room from weeks ago, was now not in it.
However, Shaynna summed up the efforts overall as selling “the dream of the wellness“ and they had created a dream backyard.
Britt and Taz’s alfresco and shed reveal
Score: 27, third place
The alfresco area, which offered all types of cooking including a Teppanyaki plate, pizza oven and a barbecue impressed the judges but all the kitchen space took away from a lounge area, the judges noted.

But it was Britt and Taz’s shed reveal that really garnered plenty of feedback.
A mini version of the garage was described by Shaynna as “serious tool shed stuff.”
But Marty’s hope that they moved the Pilates rumpus room from Week 6 into the shed wasn’t realised, and they walked into a speakeasy.
“This is such a gamble, even if this was to get stripped, I can live with that, because it's a shed, but you've got a second living space in the house that still has two Pilates beds and a commercial grade fridge,” he said.
“From a real estate perspective, they have a fundamental flaw within their floor plan, which can deem it unsaleable.”
Britt and Taz’s winning laundry, pantry, mudroom, water closet and garage
Score: 28, first place
Stepping foot into the galley style pantry, Darren said it was “bang for your buck” with the best inclusion being the shallow shelving.

Marty described it as “very classy, sophisticated” and “timeless.”
A sexy looking laundry was Darren’s take on the space, and said aesthetically, it was gorgeous.
“Everything that they've done feels like a home, but a highly functional home, which is incredible considering they're two cops up in the Pilbara,” Shaynna said.
“Blows my mind the quality and energy and love that they've put into this, and I feel the love that they've put in all these walls.”
The mud room will shoot beautifully for the sales campaign, Marty noted.
The powder room was heaven according to Darren with Marty summing up the finished house as “a true one off.”
“From a real estate perspective, it really just stands out. Its cosy, it’s warm. It just gives you a big hug. I love it. I really do,” he said.
The garage did not disappoint, with the strip lighting, chequered flooring and its gallery style being a lovely “little invitation into the home,” setting the scene for a really special residence, Darren said.
Britt and Taz’s guest suite reveal
Score: 19, fifth place
A fully-equipped kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster was an instant hit with the judges, as well as their cabinetry choice.

Moving further into the bedroom, Marty found the choice of rustic look wall panelling as odd.
“I feel like it's not as it's not as polished as the rest of the other rooms. I mean, is that meant to be painted?” he said.
The size of the rug and bedside tables worked perfectly in Shaynna’s eyes who said: “The colour palette, the texture, the way this is laid out as though you're a guest, you've been invited. It does have that beautiful invitation to it.”
A sign on the bathroom door stating ‘Room under construction, do not enter’ left the judges puzzled as to what had happened.
“Whatever happened in here, whether it was an ordering issue, or it was a trade’s issue, I don't get the sense that it was their time management,” Darren said.
If it were finished Marty said the suite would been a contender to win.
“You can feel it, you can see it. You can sense it. It's quite heartbreaking for them,” he said.
Britt and Taz’s winning kitchen
Score: 28.5, first place
Putting to use their appliance package win from in week two, everything in the kitchen felt expensive Darren said.

“And this island is continental. It is absolutely immense,” he said.
Meanwhile, Marty said the kitchen’s orientation was the pick of the bunch for him if he were buying any of The Block homes.
Darren could not contain his praise: “It's so beautiful. It's so impactful,” he said.
“This is such a gorgeous, considered result, and it elevates this room - just the stratosphere, its next level.”
Marty had no doubt people would be “throwing” themselves at the house.
“This is my front runner,” Shaynna said, noting the whole room said country without being “hokey country”.
Britt and Taz’s rumpus room/pilates studio
Score: 20 ½, fourth place
All judges were united in that using the space as a gym/pilates studio was a big mistake, leaving the house with just one living area.
Pictures: Channel 9/9Now
Shaynna said a room with a fridge and reformers was too “niche” for the market.
“I think they've gone a long way towards making this the lifestyle house, but they've used valuable real estate to do it, so that's damaged their value,” Darren said, who recommended all the room’s inclusions should be moved to the shed.
“This is a non-negotiable. They really need to listen to us three in the fact that this application is fundamentally incorrect for a campaign in Daylesford on a home of this size, but they now know what to do to get it back on track," Marty said.
Britt and Taz’s living and dining
Score: 28.5, second place
If the couch was positioned better, it would have been a perfect score from Shaynna.
However, she loved the use of timber in the roof and its connection to the landscape.
“I just I feel like I'm home,” she said.

Darren applauded the attention to detail, the palette and the craftsmanship.
“This house is starting to feel really beautifully meshed together. You’ve got all the elements that worked in the main bedroom for me but they've applied it in big, dramatic strokes in this communal space,” he said.
This would have been a 10 for Shaynna but she felt they got the layout wrong. Picture: Channel 9/9Now
The dining area’s custom made Christian Cole table was a hit, as was a bench seat that looked like an “oversized” paddle pop, Shaynna said.
Britt and Taz’s winning main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe reveal
Score: 29, first place
Not only did the pair receive a perfect 10 from Darren, but Shaynna said Britt and Taz might be the second Block cop team to make a career out of renovations and interior design, just like twin sisters and former police officers, Alisa and Lysandra have, who won in 2013.

The judges noted how they all “glided” into the main bedroom: “I’ve just travelled in on a cloud. It’s so serene,” Darren said.
The detailing via the use of grass cloth paper, reeded panelling, combined with a neutral palette with gold amongst it was “really beautiful, elevated, refined, sophisticated,” Darren said.
The walk-in wardrobe was also a hit and aside from some badly executed ceiling paintwork, Marty said the space was “the most marketable, the most luxurious, the easiest sell that we've seen.”
Britt and Taz’s main bathroom
Score: 21.5, fifth place
A separate shower area – of which Marty had issue with the archway - was described as an “upmarket abattoir,” where he said he felt like “you needed to hose all the blood out of this room.”
“Literally, it’s cold, it’s scary,” he said.
“It's got a bad feeling in here. I don't like it at all.”
Darren on the other hand said he loved it, and said the space felt calm and serene.
“I just feel like the styling just lets them down because it doesn't feel high-end,” Shaynna said.
Britt and Taz’s winning kids’ rooms
Score: 28, first place
Darren walked into the pair’s first room stating he loved the bed, everything on it and all that was around it.
Picture: Channel 9/9Now
The room’s modern country look drew high praise from Shaynna.
“The curves that we've got in the terracotta and salmon is like undulating hills,” she said.
“And then, we have that beautiful pastel Aboriginal artwork, which is the same running theme of modern country, even though you've got thousands of years of tradition in there.”
The second kids’ room was also an instant hit.
“They really have class. And we've got two police officers up in the dusty bowl of Northam, Western Australia. And look at this. It's beautiful,” Shaynna said.
Britt’s styling and attention to detail was applauded, with Marty describing the room as “extremely luxurious”.
“It'll shoot beautifully. I truly believe that this has been hit out of the ballpark,” he said.
“This is by far my most favourite room of the day, and we've got another two houses to see. I think this one's hard to beat.”
Britt and Taz’s bathroom reveal
Score: 24, third place
While the vanity height was wrong, the judges loved the team’s use of wallpaper that showed floor-to-ceiling tiling was not always necessary for a successful bathroom.

The nickel tapware hue and the vertical handrails did not win Shaynna over, while Marty did not like the shower screen size.
“I think it's a good bathroom, but it's not great. And from a marketing perspective, where's the Daylesford in it?” he said.

Meet Britt and Taz
Based in Newman, WA, a mining town 12 hours’ drive north of Perth, the married couple are parents to four-year-old Carter and two-year-old Myla.
Picture: Channel 9/9Now
Both police officers, they are the second police couple to be part of The Block, after Block All-Stars Alisa and Lysandra.
Britt and Taz met on Tinder almost a decade ago and have been married three years.
The pair work together at Newman Police Station, which services the indigenous and mining communities.
“I wanted to apply for The Block for years, but it was never the right timing,” Britt said.
“The timing now is right.”
Britt, 30, police officer
A huge fan of The Block, Britt has watched the show for many years.
Armed with a strong work ethic, she worked in car sales for five years before becoming a police officer.
She also is also a photographer, who specialises in family portraits and maternity pictures.
Taz, 30, police officer
Taz was raised in Campbelltown in Sydney and moved to Perth to play football in the WA Football League.
He is an aboriginal man from the Tharawal/Dharawal People, and he wants to inspire Indigenous kids that anything is possible.
Taz – whose full name is Taran - loves the outdoors and sports, and cites his biggest fear as Daylesford’s below zero early morning temperatures.
Style and experience
The couple have completed plenty of projects on their Newman home, and in Perth but have yet to renovate an entire house
Taz classes their experience as “amateur renovators”.
“We have done lots of things ourselves like window bench seats, paving and landscaping, but never something like the scale of The Block,” Britt said.
Their Block style has been dubbed ‘modern organic luxury’ along the lines of ‘resort-style living’.
