Restaurant Pesta Keboen's wall is painted in refreshing moss green






Not too long ago, we went to Semarang city to get more inspiration on Javanese Colonial style buildings. Semarang is famours for its legendary Kota Lama and has been a great source of inspiration in making our Naim Project.

A trip to Semarang without a culinary adventure would be so wasted. And we made a stop at this place called restaurant Pesta Keboen for a dinner.

I am not going to talk about their food here, as I forgot already how they looked like or tasted like :p
Instead, I want to post their building design. To be honet, I do not know whether their buidling style is true Javanese Colonial style. I doubt it. There have been a major variation from the classical Javanese Colonial style. But they still maintain some critical attributes on it.

Few things that I like about this budiling
  • The GREEN wall combined with white windows is really really refreshing for the eyes
  • The big glass window with its special shutter windows. This gives a strong feeling on Colonial style design
  • Half round canopy which is 'framed' with wall profiles in great details
  • From the main street, the restaurant is covered by leafy plants and some big trees
