Han and Can’s guest suite reveal
Score: 23.5, third place
Opting not to include a kitchenette in the suite was set to impact House 2’s value Marty said, as buyers will be going from house to house and comparing them.

However, Darren loved the colours used in the space describing them as “punchy and bold”.
A study nook had Shaynna perplexed: “It’s a holiday environment. Do you want to sit in the corner, in a little pokey area and do your office work?”
They all loved the incomplete ensuite bathroom, and Darren summed it up as “balanced and nuanced and still really punchy and bold, everything that’s good about this house”.

Han and Can’s kitchen reveal
Score: 26.5, fourth place
The space was too white for Shaynna who said she felt like she had to be careful where she stood.

“The kitchen is the heart of the home. This has no heart,” she said.
“The more I stand here, the more I go, I can’t wait to get out.”
Marty disagreed and said the more he stood in it, the more he liked it.
“But one third of us doesn’t like it. This is the thing. It’s not just nice or good or okay, it’s divisive, and that can be problematic,” Darren argued.
The depth and height of the range hood was also criticised.

Han and Can’s winning rumpus room
Score: 29 ¼ , first place
A space that the entire family could enjoy was how Marty summed up Han and Can’s winning room.

“So from a marketing perspective, this really hits every single person that will enjoy coming to stay at this house,” he said.
The space’s sense of calmness impressed Shaynna, who noted the hard work they had carried out to implement three arches and a coffered ceiling.
“It is so marketable. And personally, I love nearly everything in here,” Marty said, but did note a wallpaper join behind the TV irked him.
Darren loved the art: “I actually really love the whimsy and playfulness of these artworks. This is beautiful style.”

Han and Can’s living and dining reveal
Score: 27.5, fourth place
So impressed with the pair’s efforts this week, Shaynna and Marty hailed them as the competition’s dark horse.

A fireplace with a striking pearlescent effect, the couch positioning, the artwork and the styling were hits, with Shaynna noting Han and Can had “grown up.”
“It has a broad appeal, but it’s not boring,” Marty said.
‘It’s got a really nice, safe, predictable palette, but there’s something in there that has a big punch, and for me, it’s that dining table,” Darren added.

Han and Can’s blue main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe
Score: 20, fifth place
Marty didn’t mince his words upon setting sight on the bedroom stating: “I absolutely hate it. I actually want to vomit.”

The judging trio all agreed the blue paint colour scheme was wrong.
“It’s so abrasive, it’s so intense, and it actually is really throwing off everything else that we see in here,” Darren said.
He said elegant inclusions in the room were “overwhelmed by this punch in the face.”
However, there were smiles when they approached the walk-in wardrobe, but Shaynna said the ensuite, walk-in robe and main bedroom were having an “identity crisis in this one space.”

Han and Can’s winning bathroom and amber see-through bath
Score: 28 + 1 bonus point, first place
A see though bath was deemed a success by the judges, with Marty likening the overall space to a Daylesford day spa.

“It has that day spa feel with the candles, the bath, the softer tones. It’s this balance of just punch in the face, but then this really beautiful calmness throughout,” he said.
“It’s a punch in the face with a velvet glove,” Darren added.
Shaynna praised their efforts after a week of Han being sick: “They’ve delivered a bathroom with punch, with fun, with drama, and finished it. God, I hope they’re proud.”

Han and Can’s kids’ rooms
Score: 24, fourth place
While Shaynna loved the cloud bedhead, the arch, the style of furniture and artwork, she said together they were “too much” and were not functional.
Picture: Channel 9/9Now
Marty said choosing to style the room as a nursery was a mistake as he believed the buyer market would be people with children, not babies.
“It’s too niche. This room is going to jar the market,” he said.
The next room drew better comments from Shaynna who said: “It’s different. It’s igniting. These girls have creativity, and they’ve gone out on a limb,” she said.
Meanwhile, Darren applauded the girls for their commitment to “biting off a lot and chewing like hell”.
“They actually are really pushing the boundaries in terms of what they can achieve in time and they have delivered two beautifully finished rooms that have loads of interest, loads of architectural detail, and that that I commend,” he said.

Han and Can’s bathroom
Score: 19.5, fifth place
Han and Can failed to finish their bathroom on the first week of The Block.
Calming, soft and balanced were Darren’s initial observations of the incomplete space, which also had a vanity positioned too high.

“If this is an adult, it’s already high, but the rooms next door are kids’ rooms. It’s a kids shared bathroom,” he said.
“So this is definitely going to be a challenge for any child that is under 13.”
The industrial style fittings on the shower screen were not a hit with Marty.
Shaynna recommended the girls look to the exterior of the home to guide the interior, and said she did not want them to feel defeated as it was only week one.
“Doing a bathroom on your very first week is overwhelming, exhausting, and that’s okay, but I want to point out to them that you never fully tile a bathroom in a cold environment,” she said.

It had always been part of Han’s dream to be part of The Block but she never had anyone to do it with.
“I’m creative at heart and have always had a love of real estate, so I thought why not?” Can said.

“Mum used to take me to art galleries and dad took me to motorbike tracks with the boys, and I used to take them to real estate open for inspections,” she said.
Style and experience
The dynamic duo share a love of motorbikes, renovations, and their dogs.
The pair share much respect and love for each other, with Han saying she could not imagine doing The Block with anyone else but Can.
While, Can said Han’s drive and motivation sees her sets goals and achieve them.
With an ‘arte-zen’ style theme in mind for their house, they will be incorporating curves, a richness of textures and artful elements.
Neither of the pair are afraid to get on the tools, with Han at the helm of project management and Can creative direction.
