The second heat begins with new contestants tackling attic snug transformations. Working in paired teams, the renovators must balance comfort, style and clever design as they bring the forgotten corners of the chateau back to life. With personalities, approaches and ambitions already clashing, the pressure mounts from day one.

With one pair already gone, the remaining renovators step into the solo phase of the competition in which they must create a breakfast room suitable for paying guests. They must show flair in both design and functionality while staying true to the chateau's character - but with no partner to rely on, confidence and creativity are pushed to the brink.
