Interior Elegance: A Fusion of Past and Present
As we know, Surabaya still has a lot of buildings from the Dutch colonial era that are still enduring in this modern era. Some are preserved, while the rest have been repurposed into various functions following the lifestyle of Surabaya's current residents. People these days have new common habits, especially since the COVID era, where they can work from anywhere, like cafes. So they combine the old-world charm with the modern lifestyle in a beautifully restored colonial-era building called Blue Doors. This cafe has been brewing since December 4th, 2022.
The building facade still retains its original old appearance, with detailed moldings and ornaments, especially on the doors and windows that are no longer functionally used but still present an elegant value through pleasing stained glass and colorful patterns. They not only preserve the old-colonial vibes through the facade but also the interior of the building.
