What a 250K euro renovation looks like

03/07/2023 Kartika

Renovation

Within five years of moving to Europe, businessman Douglas Loewe “fell in love” with Barcelona, he said.

He decided to buy a home there, spending about 500,000 euros ($545,000) to purchase an apartment in the city’s famous Eixample neighborhood in 1999, the senior operating partner at Macquarie said.

But by 2017, Loewe felt the two-bedroom penthouse needed an overhaul.

The main living area of Loewe’s apartment in Barcelona, called Aribau 133 Sobre Atic.

Within a year, he had transformed the “deteriorated” two-bedroom penthouse into a three-bedroom space that is now worth 1.7 million to 2 million euros, Loewe said — more than double the amount he spent to purchase and renovate the property.

Loewe had renovated the apartment once before, but “it needed refreshing on a lot of levels” after almost 20 years, he said.

He hired Matthew Coe, founder of the property investment firm

Burk’s Falls health center major renovation ‘needed much’

Renovation

‘You can’t imagine the number of people who stop me in the Village and say whatever you do, ‘keep the blood lab open’

The healthcare professionals who work at the Burk’s Falls Family Health Team are enjoying a much-needed face-lift to the health centre.

The employees are now working in a renovated facility which includes re-purposing the former emergency reception into office space.

Christine Barr is the Administrative Assistant for the Village of Burk’s Falls who also coordinates the health center’s administration.

Barr said one of the significant improvements includes how the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) can now operate at the facility.

“The OTN used to be in a small room and they regularly dealt with people with mobility challenges, like people with walkers,” Barr said. “So you’d have the nurse, the patient and a walker in a tiny area. But the bigger space has really improved matters.”

Renovating an Oceanfront House in Marblehead, Massachusetts

28/06/2023 Kartika

Renovation

David and Davin Wedel were living in a Boston condominium in 2016, awaiting the birth of their twin daughters, when it occurred to them that they might need more space for their family. So they started casually looking at houses outside the city, just to get a feel for the market.

Once they visited an oceanfront house in Marblehead, Mass., however, things began moving quickly.

“We weren’t really looking. We were supposed to be educating ourselves,” said David, 45, who previously worked for tech start-ups but is now focused on raising their children. “We got out of the car at this property, and I looked at Davin a little sheepishly and said, ‘I’m afraid to tell you, but I think I’m going to like this place.’”

Perched on a rocky bluff, the 1930s neo-Georgian house has a breathtaking view of the ocean, with a 270-degree sweep offering sightlines up and

The Cal Poly library is undergoing a $77 million renovation. What was it like in the 1970s?

25/06/2023 Kartika

Renovation

Fun fact: Cal Poly did not have a dedicated library building until 46 years after classes were first held on campus in San Luis Obispo in 1903.

Then known as the California Polytechnic School, a three-year secondary school, the future university had a modest start.

Cal Poly’s first library was next door to Cal Poly Director Leroy Anderson’s office in the original 1903 administration building. His secretary doubled as librarian.

In 1916, the library moved to the second floor of the science building later called Anderson Hall.

It was relocated to classroom units near the center of campus in 1939.

The library’s next stop was the second floor of the clock tower building, where it occupied six classrooms. That structure is now known as the Cotchett Education Building.

When the Dexter Library opened in September 1949, it was a $700,000 statement that the college was growing.

The library was named

Whitehorse’s Beringia Center reopens after 5-month renovation

24/06/2023 Kartika

Renovation

Whitehorse’s Beringia Interpretive Center re-opens its doors this weekend after a five-month closure for renovations — and visitors are being promised a more engaging and interactive experience of Yukon’s Ice Age history.

“Change was a constant thing in the Yukon in the past,” said territorial government paleontologist Grant Zazula, who was involved in the facility’s overhaul.

“Extinction, survival and change through time was really what we wanted to get across.”

The center, just off the Alaska Highway, is home to skeletons, fossils, and other exhibits that aim to tell the story of life in the Yukon through the ages. Beringia refers to the land bridge that once connected Alaska and Siberia, over which humans and wildlife migrated into North America tens of thousands of years ago.

A large building is seen from the outside with a sign on the outside saying 'Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre.' — The Beringia Interpretive Center first opened in the late 1990s, before Yukon had its own paleontology program. (Paul Tukker/CBC)
