Same applies to 10 era. There's a tendency to over-glorify what was ultimately a concrete slab with a shed. The house was nothing more than a set built within a soundstage, hardly an architectural marvel. If anything, the auditorium and production offices were a bigger feat.
I'd be very surprised if they changed that policy after all these years.
No chance. Not in Australia.
Not allow to show people smoking on TV in Australia, so wouldn't be much point to a smoking room, Housemates could go in the room, smoke and talk about thing they don't want to make it to air or we would miss some interesting conversations and parts of conversations they start in another room then move into that room and we'll wouldn't be able to fully get to know the housemates.
BBUK’s smoking room isn’t shown on TV either. It’s also not as if they couldn’t have rules about how it was used ie. only having one person in there at a time. I mean in general the toilets aren’t shown on TV either. Can’t speak for BBAU but I know in BBUS they only turn on those cameras if and when there are multiple people in there.
In addition to not televising it, Australia’s smoking laws in general are super strict though - and getting stricter. It’s outlawed in a lot of public spaces, and I know some places like Melbourne are trying to ban it from the city completely. Plus, Dreamworld would be considered an entirely smoke-free zone, no? So with the house in the middle of the park, even if there was an open-air space within the compound, I imagine those rules would definitely still apply. Either way, it’s never been a thing on BBAU (can’t speak for the not-really-BB Seven era) so I highly doubt they’re gonna start encouraging the promotion of smoking now, televised or not.

Good lord the UK house looks like a traveling carnival and reminds me at times of the final C4 version that was circus themed. So. Much. Colour. I'm convinced the yard area will be about the same size.
The park has a designated outdoor smoking area which is coincidentally by the house.In addition to not televising it, Australia’s smoking laws in general are super strict though - and getting stricter.

ChatGPT that shiz!
I know this isn't what you suggested but you reminded me of Poland's BB 4.1 that went with a more generic eye but pixelated like BBAU 05-07 (also recognise the theme tune?). No question about it where their inspiration came from
The new one, meh. TBH. 
Once the show starts they'll stick with what they have. That would be a cool take as the show progresses though.Agreed. The 'OG' 2025 eye was amazing.
I wonder how this 2025 reboot would have been received if they started with this newer eye in initial promos to appeal to 9 and 7 audiences before reverting to a more OG eye in later promos and in the series proper. We'd probably have complained though, hah.
I’m predicting an opening similar to the OG era, albeit something short and snappy. Visual shots of the house / Dreamworld, control room, “12 Housemates”, “1 Winner”, “You Decide”, title card. I still think the animated logo we’re seeing in the current promos is the end of the intro.
Now you mention it, I do recall seeing that. 2003 was a solid theme.
