The Block 2020
WA Couple
Luke & Jasmin
Perth couple Luke and Jasmin believe their secret weapon as Luke’s work as a carpenter will be a “secret weapon” when it comes to getting ahead in the competition.
The 35-year-old model started his own carpentry business nine years ago, and does everything from renovations to timber flooring. Jasmin, a part-time kindergarten teacher, runs a tight ship in the classroom and has a very clear idea about what sort of house she wants to build on The Block.
The pair, who met 17 years ago, are currently renovating their own home while raising their two kids, and plan to savour every moment of the competition.

Week 9: Powder Room
Floor Tile: Belga White GL-Porc

"It is so light and spacious, the colour palette is stunning. I love the tile choice. The terrazzo used with the subway will tile is perfect." - Neale Whitaker
As parents themselves, Luke and Jasmin decided to create a family bathroom, acting as an ensuite to the kids' bedroom with a functional bath and easy access shower. As the judges entered the bathroom, Shaynna was first to exclaim "oh my god!" "The brass edging all the way around is so beautiful. The handles, the under tile heating that we have seen in every house," "I'm jealous of the kids who would use this bathroom," said Shaynna.

Luke & Jasmin took out the win this week drawing with Jimmy & Tam both couples scoring a huge 29/30!
Floor Tile: Elegance Timber White Textured
Wall Tile: Belga White
Feature Wall Tile: Mod FIngers White Mosaic
"This exceeds every expectation, I can't remember standing in a bathroom as beautiful as this in week four of The Block." - Neale
Luke and Jasmin hoped to pull off a Block first in their master ensuite, with a curved wall and circle skylight. As the judges entered the master ensuite, they were all impressed. Darren had only positive things to say about the quality of work in the ensuite."We look at this ceiling and the way it relates to that wall, the complexity of cutting those tiles to get them right, the complexity of cutting that piece of plaster to get it into the ceiling so perfectly. There is a lot of craftsmanship, a lot of attention to detail, a lot of effort, and there's a lot of courage to even take that on — especially in a week."
All smiles for Luke & Jasmin this week for their room coming tied first with Jimmy & Tam!
Week 2: Guest Ensuite
"Oh la-la," gushed Shaynna Blaze as the judges entered the room. "The way they've done the tiles to mirror that length is gorgeous." Shaynna loved that the space was elegant, refined and delicate. "And these tiles, even though they're brand new, it has that aged look with a delicate soft print," she added.
Neale, happy to see the couple have grasped the 1910 brief commented "I think the combination between VJ panelling, with this beautiful decorative tile and then what I call reeded glass on the shower screen there, just gives it that period feel."
