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
