To me there are houses and there are homes. You know the difference. Then there are these houses. I have seen houses like these in Menteng, Kebayoran Baru, and in Bandung, Bogor, Medan, Malang, and Yogjakarta. They are not too big, not too small either, nor they come in dashing…
colors. They are not overly ornamented and definitely not minimalist. They are just right. I don’t know about you but there is a sense of peacefulness, calmness and ‘homeyness’ when i see these houses. Is it the design, the location, or I am just being nostalgic and childish. I just hope they stay this way for long amid the invasion of impersonal mass-clusivity. Have your say and share with me. PEACE
This house has a huge green space, most likely owned by a VIP during the 50′s.
Porch in the front — a typical house in the 50′s and 60′s.
The use of natural materials such as stones painted in black and white calls for a nostalgic feeling.
Green on green, very nice. Look at the little details in the window and wall.
Even the garage looks iconic with sculptural window and top.
Simple and unpretentious style.
Note: Thanks to Anindita for sharing her view on these vintage houses. All houses are located in Yogjakarta, the owners have no idea their beautiful houses were shot and featured here. Apologies and thanks. Keep them vintage.
