Last year Xav and Tash travelled to France with twelve pairs of ambitious DIY enthusiasts to compete for their very own Chateâu on Channel 4’s Chateâu DIY: Win the Dream. After a series of renovation, business and hosting challenges, Xav and Tash won the series and have now begun their journey: renovating their newly owned French home into a refined events and hospitality space. 

Xav developed his practical skills early on by watching his family home in Mauritius being built from scratch - an experience that shaped his methodical mindset and confidence with tools. Tash brings the design vision with a lifelong passion for interiors, fabrics and styling. She has a career in retail spanning 15 years and loves classic Parisian design with a contemporary twist. 

Together, they take on ambitious renovations themselves and push the boundaries of what can be achieved on a budget. Their next project is by far their biggest challenge yet!
