The Block 2023 winners Steph and Gian Ottavio have shared with fans that they have a brand new project on the horizon and it sounds incredible!
From pocketing a whopping $1.75 million on auction day to launching their own homewares brand, Japandi Estate, there’s no denying the childhood sweethearts are only going from strength to strength.
Now, seven months after their record-breaking win, Steph and Gian have revealed they’re diving headfirst into another renovation.
Taking to TikTok in early June, the pair shared a video of the first home they ever renovated in Bexley, NSW, which they recently sold for $1.825 million.
The clip then switched to a new property, with the couple captioning the post: “From one house to the other.
“Can’t wait to take you all along this next reno journey — let’s create another home.”

In a subsequent TikTok, Steph and Gian danced around their future home.
“We’re so excited to bring you along on this new journey,” they penned.
How did fans react to The Block winners Steph and Gian’s new project?
With Japandi styling having been at the forefront of Steph and Gian’s The Block home, their followers said they were keen to see how they incorporate their signature style into their latest renovation.
“How exciting! Can’t wait to see what you do. Congratulations,” one fan wrote.
“That’s amazing!! I love your style,” another penned, while a third said they “can’t wait to see what beautiful spaces” the duo create.

Will we ever see Steph and Gian on The Block again?
Word of Steph and Gian’s exciting new project comes after speculation they’d return to The Block, namely with Steph as a judge.
While the 27-year-old was flattered by fans’ suggestion she pick up the role, the architect said she didn’t want to take the job away from the show’s current judges.
“I would love to come back on more of like a consultant level to chat with the contestants and help them achieve what they need to achieve when they get to judging,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“I feel like that’s where you should start, I don’t think it’s fair for me to be a judge straight away, I think that I need to earn a few more stripes to then be on a panel of such an esteemed cohort of judges.”
