Camp Nou renovation gets major boost

Mahendra, 31/03/2025

The time away from Camp Nou during renovation has undoubtedly had a huge impact on Barcelona. It would have been ideal for their path ahead in the UEFA Champions League. However, the Estadi Olimpic, which can accommodate 50,000+ spectators, looked like a perfect substitute.

But Barcelona’s finances have taken a major blow, and their results have been disappointing. To make matters worse, few fans are willing to drive the additional 6km to see the games.

Regina’s Globe Theater to reopen in fall after major renovations

South/West House by Killing Matt Woods

Sitting on a street of interwar brick houses in Sydney’s inner-west, South/West House is fresh and modern. Or more precisely, modern. Drawing stylistic inspiration from the house’s 1930s origins, designer Matt Woods has transformed the former one-storey brick home into a two-storey residence in the P&O style. Also known as streamline moderne, the P&O style was a branch of modernism influenced by the elegant dynamism of ocean liners.
