The Minimalist Modern Bourgeois Society and Lifestyle

The Minimalist Modern Bourgeois Society and Lifestyle - If we had the opportunity to observe the form of housing in big cities in Indonesia, then there is an architectural style of the house is a very subtle look. That is a modern minimalist style. A form of the house that is now increasingly in demand by urban communities. Of course modern minimalist style house will not we meet in the slum areas (slums), such as along the banks of the river or surrounding area landfills. Similarly, crowded housing complex. Housing complex that the distance between one house to another house separated by the wall itself. Very tight, even for homes that were facing each other, paused only by a narrow street (alley bumper).

Instead. Not in a very dense residential areas and slums like it we will find a modern minimalist style. Although the actual, modern minimalist house will be right if it is built in the area of space that is not too broad. Just unfortunately, although impressed minimalist, but for the price, modern minimalist home need 'money maximalist'. Therefore, only for those with deep pockets alone (the bourgeoisie) who are considered able to build it.

Meaning of Modern Minimalist House

If you look at the development of the architecture, it will be found that is a form of modern minimalist house contemporary house style. Built in response to the lifestyle of modern society that prioritizes efficiency element in all respects. Included also in choosing the style of the house, preferably efficient in terms of appearance (to minimize the home decorative elements) and optimum space utilization. From this, the concept of modern minimalist house was born.

Unlike for example the concept of home in the Middle Ages (the classic house style). At that time, the architecture is very different from the modern minimalist style. Classic house style is generally filled with ornaments or carvings characterized Greco-Roman classics, the dominant element in every corner of the arch, and the materials are expensive and hard to find (such as marble). The most obvious example is the Gothic style. Typical European architecture, was an idol for making houses in Indonesia.

Modern minimalist house is also different from the ethnic-style house, the house that inspired the architecture of one of the traditional houses in the archipelago. Like a house style that is inspired by traditional Balinese house rich with ornament elements (engraving), or a traditional Javanese house with the Joglo. Style house that combines the elements of ethnic, also had so much choice and demand.

But now, the trend of home architecture in big cities in Indonesia began to shift. Of classical and ethnic style house, move to a modern minimalist style. There was the most distinctive feature of the house is a modern minimalist design that prioritizes the practicality and versatility, as well as the ingenious use of land or space with minimalist material as possible but still did not leave the aesthetic side (elegant to behold).

To that end, modern minimalist house greatly minimizes the use of decorative elements such as found in many classic styles and ethnic houses. Simple and displays the elements as needed. That is to say that the house is the antithesis of the modern minimalist style house classic and ethnic. Essential and functional, which is the main characteristic of modern home architecture. It can be seen from the character of the house clear and sturdy, minimal use of home accessories, lighting arrangements and maximum air circulation, and the paint color selection that is not only unsightly but also able to eliminate the narrow sense. The simpler the design of a house, then the house is minimalist architecture.

Modern Minimalist Lifestyle Tribe as Bourgeois

Home for people have an important role. The house not only as a place to live, but also social functioning. To that end, the house designed as comfortable and beautiful as possible. Thus making the occupants feel at home dwelling in the house, and the owners will be proud of the social existence of the house. The second concept, which is comfortable to live in and have a prestige value in the eyes of society, there are the modern minimalist home design.

Referred to as a comfortable place to live, modern minimalist house offers clear that thing. Spatial planning as optimal as possible (with no space that is functionally less function) and light settings and good air circulation, will make anyone feel at home for a guaranteed length of stay in a modern minimalist home.

And considered as part of the lifestyle of modern society.

However, as previously noted including modern minimalist home is still scarce. Not yet prevalent. Only in certain places, we can see a variety of modern minimalist house was built. Owned by a group of elite people, namely those who are financially abilities are above average community at large. The bourgeoisie was a common name attached to this community call elite. word of 'Bourgeois' is the adjective of the word' bourgeois' which if interpreted broadly is a social class consists of people from the upper middle class. Them or the new rich are very responsive to the various things that are modern. One is the tendency to have a modern minimalist house as the preferred design for their home.

Moreover, the philosophy behind the home contained have harmony with the modern minimalist lifestyle of the bourgeoisie, which put forward the concept looks simple but very modern style. The concept is simple or simple (minimalist) is typical of the bourgeoisie who are familiar with in their daily lives completely practical, functional, and efficient.

Modern Minimalist House For All

Modern minimalist house values could be applied to all walks of life. So, not only of the bourgeoisie who chose the design of efficient all-round home. Especially for urban areas where vacant land increasingly hard to come by. Well, this fact can be circumvented by building a residence or building modern minimalist home design. The concept of modern minimalist house, not only suitable for building in a limited area (narrow), but also with limited space to build still able to offer optimum comfort and beauty to its owner. With the arrangement of the furniture as efficiently as possible, removing unnecessary decorative elements, as well as the selection of the right paint color, modern minimalist house dream house will be everybody. This is the excess of modern minimalist house was owned by a classic or ethnic style house.

However, because of the perception that is not right in society, which considers that the modern minimalist house design house synonymous with luxury, making many people do not make it as a design choice when building a residence. In fact, the initial idea of the birth of the modern minimalist style is addressing the problems of increasingly limited land for building, leaving no element of beauty and comfort.

Thus, the principle of efficiency is the main spirit of the modern minimalist home. Both the efficiency of the design of the house, as well as efficiency in terms of the cost to create your home. Therefore, if only the removal of the erroneous perception, then we will witness a scene of urban residential houses will be dominated by modern minimalist house. Row house with limited space that combines the concept of minimalism, so the house was born with a strong sense of wonder at the same time comfortable place to live.
