The Block 2021: Garage, Study and Wine Cellar Reveal
- 24 Oct 2021
It’s the final inside week of The Block 2021 and the contestants have to finish everything still left in their homes, whether that’s wine cellars, studies or garages, it’s now or never!
And after a hectic week, that’s just what they did, tying off any loose ends and presenting completed houses that showed the judges just what they’ve been hinting at for so long.
The Block 2021: Garage, Study and Wine Cellar Recap
Ronnie & Georgia
Score: 27/30
First Place
Congratulations to Ronnie and Georgia on taking out the last indoor week for The Block 2021!
Accessed by the Colourbond tilt door and past the Grafico mural of the Le Mans where Ford beat Ferrari, to a well-stocked and stacked storage area, Ronnie and Georgia’s garage combined style and functionality. From there it’s past the mudroom with storage for shoes, coats and school bags to a powder room perfect for when you just arrive home and a study/guestroom/home office overlooking to yard. Inside however it was the sculptural staircase that drew the eye, leading down to a beautifully-fitted out wine room complete with sink, seating around a butcher’s block table and another powder room. “Simply perfect!” Shaynna said.

Third Place
Mitch and Mark in their creative and clever work from home space.
With its custom mural, Mitch and Mark’s simple and spectacular garage leads to one of The Block’s surprises, a hidden study/office fitted into “stolen space” above, the perfect work-from home office with ample space for two, plus storage, a big selling point in post-Covid times. Into the basement the judges were surprised again, this time to see the space next to the existing day spa steam-room had been transformed into a combined TV room and wine cellar with its own kitchenette. Despite issues with the layout and execution the judges agreed it’s another value-add to an already stunning home.

Tanya & Vito
Score: 19 ½ /30
Fourth Place
Tanya and Vito are pictured in their garage which has access straight to the backyard.
From the teal green horizontal garage door with portholes matching the heritage façade to the polished concrete floor and huge storage area, this is a room where functionality is clearly king. Coming at the cost of a fourth bedroom, the judges did wonder if the storage might be a mistake, but with its access to the backyard and the driveway, agreed it will definitely be a plus to any buyer. Another plus is the downstairs games room they found outside the home cinema, complete with a Euro Cave wine fridge, classic arcade amusements and a statue welcoming visitors in. “It’s fun, it’s quirky and it’s in keeping with the house,” Darren said!
We love the polished concrete floor and storage area and gold rhino too!

Josh & Luke
Score: 8/30
Last Place
Josh and Luke have had a big week getting through their spaces with many still to be finished!
The polished floor, mural featuring race tracks of the world and a door-within-a-door all combines to welcome the judges into Josh and Luke’s garage, a single car space and storage, complete with a plumbing stack from the master bedroom that was moved! Inside, there was less to see, with the build still underway and the only visible change a plaster render the judges all agreed was not their favourite. Neither was the study/bedroom that felt cramped, but at least the basement brought back their smiles, with a great wine storage solution and kitchenette. Unfinished again, but at least a starting point.

Kirsty & Jesse
Score: 26 ½ /30
Second Place
The judges found a lot to like in Kirsty and Jesse’s final spaces.
Starting with a large uncluttered garage with a storage area complete with Bosch fridge and moving through a well-fitted storage area, the judges found a lot to like in Kirsty and Jesse’s final spaces, especially when they moved upstairs to the study. A functional home office with well-planned lighting and great Kinsman cabinetry, it’s well planned and well executed, Darren said and suits the house. It was the basement, however that won them over, from the bank of Gaggenau wine fridges to the recessed guitar display niches, kitchenette with seating outside the home cinema… “It’s a knockout!” Darren summed up. “A balance between opulence and value.”
