An astounding room. I've missed your creations. You make your second debut in this competition with the most unique room of the current week. High marks on everything, from color palette, to theme, to furni details, to spatial composition. Don't really have a helpful critique because you're already aware of everything we look for. Top marks from me. Welcome back.

Indiana Jones...who? This is exhilarating. The story is very prevalent in your construction of this room. I’m fascinated with your concept. Not only is the base of the room beautifully done. The intricacy and flow of design is crafted with such grandeur. Overall a very compelling design. You should be very proud of this!

No matter the ranking, this is a really strong first impression for me. You came in with a unique theme and some gorgeous details in it. The design of the shelves is mesmerizing. What I want to see improvement from you is on your space composition and a way to display your theme more clearly. When we give out a size limit, that's there to give you an idea of the size we're looking for. It doesn't necessarily mean we want a perfect square filling up the entire space without any play on unique composition. We also enjoy when the theme of your design is obvious to the viewer without an explanation so enforcing that with your furni choices is something you should try to do. Overall a decent showing with HUGE potential for winning rooms in the future. Welcome to Builders Corp.

I was very excited by the initial story you told with this build. Upon further inspection I realized you could have pushed your boundaries a little more. The ‘collector’ idea is so profound and unique, had you stuck to what it is that’s being collected; this could have ranked higher. I found that the items you chose to be collected, though very fitting. It didn’t tell a powerful story. That being said, I loved how you constructed your shelves. I think you could also afford to play around with the room shape a little more. I think this was a good start!

Lou is back in the game with vengeance. An august design full of aesthetics and a gorgeous composition. I'm a huge fan of how controlled you are in showing a certain theme and not straying away from it. Top marks from me in terms of everything we needed this week. From details, to theme, to spatial composition. Welcome Back to Builders Corp.
​
The room shape and construction of the walls is corlay approved. I think you really flexed your building capabilities in this stunning design. The details were layered very harmoniously throughout the room. The desk you created and the various elements piled on top are the focal point and work together very well. Great job!

Good comeback with a cheeky theme and gorgeous details. I'm not going to go on about every little detail here because you already know the workings of this game. The bottom half of this room is captivating. The details are very well done and the spacing is lovely. What irks me is the way your framed your work in a literal square with the wrong wall choice for this. You know we're a sucker for unique takes on rooms and you most definitely have the potential to fix this. Welcome back.
​
I love the wood accents you used in this design. The cubbies of storage was very clever. My favourite aspect of this construction is the frame you created to house the plants on the one side of the room. I think you did an exceptional job with the technical aspects of this build. My only issue is with the walls. I wish you had incorporated a different texture to break up the harsh palette given by the grayscale brick. Overall, a very powerful build.

A splendid showing of what you're made of in your debut. Gorgeous warm tones imbued with charming details everywhere. I'm impressed with the spatial play on the lower part of the walls and formation of the floor plan. Something to watch out would be the height composition in relation to the width of the room. Sometimes that will make the room a bit unsightly to the eye. Don't get me wrong, I love the glass details on top I just wish they were lowered and composed better with the rest of the bottom section. Welcome to Builders Corp.
​
This is very whimsical and interesting. I think your take on our tasks will be one of the most exciting things to come out of this competition. Your attention to detail and willingness to tell an exciting story is admirable. The palette you used is sullen yet boisterous. The layered design was not what I expected to see from you. The top half being very muted and dark; combining with the bright yet intricate aspects below. Very compelling. Good stuff.

I would most likely enjoy it if you approached this game in a more serious manner. Having a shocking theme is not enough to make a room succeed in this competition. I'm gonna ignore the perturbing theme of this and simply critique your penmanship of room building skills. The first obvious mistake I see is your lack of spatial composition. You could improve on this by not literally making a square to fit the room size limit. Play with layers and unique shapes more. The scattered details around the room need to be more cohesive and purposeful to the room. They feel almost disconnected from the room they're in. In the end we need to see huge improvements in order for your to be able to compete with your peers.
I fear you're going to have to get a bit more creative if you wish to keep up in this competition. I value some of the creative choices you worked with this week; though I think this is mediocre at best. The subject matter was not shy, in fact quite inappropriate. Had you achieved a more savvy construction, I would be more keen to waver the abhorrent concept you chose. All that being said, this isn't the worst build i've seen in our series. The bar in which other builders have set only leaves you at a disadvantage (this week). Thanks.

Your comeback has been in the makings for years. And what a dramatic one it is. A prodigious showing of constrained palette, breath-taking details and a strong thematic concept. I'm saddened people won't get to experience the animated spilled wine dripping from your actual room. That was an experience. Welcome back.
​
You built your own stairs! This design is so fun and vibrant and tells an impeccable story. The wine pouring out of the bottles, the glasses on the shelf, the cheese being covered. Your attention to detail really is like no other. The textured walls and palpable palette conveyed in this room really sets it up for a win. Using photos to cut the room really made it your own. Overall this is magnificent and a great start to your journey.

I did not expect such a strong room in your first go. I am floored. The graphics on the walls are messy but in the good sort of way. It really works here. Impressive composition and detailing throughout. I personally enjoy the bundle of papers next to the recording machine. A phenomenal first impression. Will look forward to your rooms. Welcome to Builders Corp.
​
You've set yourself as a front-runner in this competition with this build. It had a lot of grit and prowess. I can see your personal style and how you mix that with the task at hand. I absolutely love the walls you have used. I like how you showed the platform at the top of the stairs. Overall, the technical aspects are prevalent and you definitely know what you're doing. Keep up the great work!

An impressive showing on your debut. A fascinating play on spatial composition with charming details scattered around the room. I especially am a fan of the openings in the walls for shelving purposes. What I'd like to see you improve on is your thematic choices. Take a task and make it your own giving it a special obscure theme to it. I would also like to see how you do with a more limited palette in your designs. Great work overall. Can't wait to see more. Welcome to Builders Corp. ( and do not hide the adorable light switches with bundles of random stickies, ever.)
​
There are some really interesting elements to this build. I love the clusters of furniture surrounding the wall of the room. It has great balance and doesn't feel disjointed. The details and stylistic approach to your layering of smaller furniture is to be admired. I really enjoy the trunk being covered by the sheet. Overall, I think something more daring thematically; it would have faired better. Good start.

Barbara we have serious competition coming in this season. A pulchritudinous room with one of the most unique takes on the task. You can literally tell who made this in one glance. Your personal style is very apparent compared to others. I do have some small issues with the way some furni clip through the water in the most unnatural ways but overall the intent is discernible. I do think you could have done without that brown stage on top or maybe salvage it better so its not just.. there. Overall top marks from me. Welcome to Builders Corp.
​
I love that I can look at this build and know it was you that created it, instantly. You have a way with furniture and how you combine obscurities and make them your own. The story you created is fantastic, one of the best we've seen this week. You approached this task with a vision and you certainly executed that. The fish swimming outside of the windows. . . come on, gorgeous! Keep up the great work!

Well it's clear you haven't lost your skills yet. A great showing of composition with a confusing yet charming set of details. I do enjoy the overall feel of the room even though some choice furni are a bit of an eyesore. My biggest complaint would be the heavy use of moodlight. Don't get me wrong I love rooms that use moodlight sparingly for that tiny bit of color cohesion but the darker you go the more you start to lose the highlights and details of the room. Happy to have you back Erin.
​
I really enjoy this build, it's so peculiar yet on brand. The walls are amazing, I've never seen them used in such a creative way that works. The assortment of furniture you used to portray your vision can be questionable. Especially the dyes. Your biggest downfall was the use of the moodlight. I think it was a bit excessive and it could have been toned down a little bit. Overall this is a great start to the competition!
