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 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.

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

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’.
