Bec and George Douros have now unveiled all the rooms in their Nick’s Place project, including this retro-inspired kitchen in townhouse No. 2.

The room reveals are done and dusted at The Block favourites Bec and George Douros’s latest project, with fans now able to see the incredible transformation of George’s childhood home in full.

New photos show how the Avondale Heights house — which George’s dad Nick designed and built in the ‘70s — has shed its dated interior in favour of a sleek modern aesthetic with retro touches.

The reality TV stars-turned-professional renovators split the residence into two townhouses for the almost year-long project named Nick’s Place.

Nick’s Place involved recreating a ‘70s brick house built by Nick Douros (left) — father-in-law of Bec and father of George — into two townhouses.

The property before …

… and after the transformation.

Bec said they retained the footprint and as much brickwork as possible from the original house, where Nick and his late wife Dafni raised their sons George and Michael.

Nick, 64, kept living there right up until the reno started in August last year.

Now tools are well and truly down, he’ll move back into one of the townhouses, while Michael plans to live in the other.

The old-school kitchen …

… and bathroom.

The 2013 Block contestants gradually unveiled the rooms in a web series on their website nectaar.com.au and social media channels, before opening the homes to the public last weekend.

Those who turned up got to tour the townhouses’ three bedrooms, two bathrooms and large open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces.

George and his dad, both bricklayers, did most of the building. Bec handled the interior design, paying homage to Nick’s original build with a “‘70s in a modern setting” theme.

This is particularly evident in the green kitchen in one townhouse, featuring original brickwork as a splashback, and a bathroom with terrazzo tiles.

Bec said she hoped the project would inspire others to adapt their family homes for new needs.

“(Nick’s) got something new and something to be proud of — he built this home for his family, and he’s ended up redesigning it for himself and his family,” she said.
