Case Study - The Block! 2020

The 2020 season of Channel 9’s The Block is a series unlike no other and BlueScope was proud to once again be a sponsor. Not only did the contestants and crew have the COVID-19 pandemic to deal with, but the build is also one of the most complex in the show’s history. Similar to the Elsternwick season in 2017, five rundown homes were relocated to The Block site in Brighton, VIC. Each team has been tasked with renovating these houses and also building a substantial addition onto the rear of the original home and constructing a separate studio/garage at the back of each property. These latter two spaces, the rear extension and studio/garages have all been built using framing made from TRUECORE® steel. 

Julian Brenchley was once again the lead architect on The Block. He designed each house to be its own individual entity, while ensuring that they did not look out of place within the existing streetscape. This year he included many architectural features such as unusual rooflines and sky-high ceilings. Additional challenges that needed to be accomplished within the famously tight timelines on The Block!
