“I worked at a publisher”.
Julia Bloomfield was the soul of the Getty Research Institute Publications Program. I interacted with her years ago only over email, and over email you could quickly tell she is an extraordinary person. Delighted to see her enjoying and taking care of this extraordinary house.
She’s a custodian of history professionally and personally. Love it
Wonder why she would want to distance herself from the Getty name.. hmmm
maybe because she semi retired in 1987! @@alexopdam9100
@@alexopdam9100 She mentions working there in the video? Around 1:55
I mean look how she's dressed...SUPER COOL! She dresses how I feel.
She describes herself as an old lady. I can't help but think of her as timeless.
As a side note those windows on that house are just amazing.
Yeah.. no kids it easy to be timeless
She's old as balls.
this woman is a vibe, congratulations on the house
What do you mean about "being a vibe"? "Vibe" being one of the most ambiguous words out there and and all, you know
@@kristjanpeik7381 it's just a slang term, urban dictionary 'a reaction of one person to another person or an event or a place perhaps'. It's usually (and in this case) a positive reaction and the vibe doesn't have to be specified but can mean any or all of the following 'inspirational, unique, quirky, eye-catching, funny etc. etc.' - it's assumed we all 'get' the same vibe from the person/place, or have a similar reaction, so it doesn't have to be specified, we just 'get it'.
So, instead of saying what you mean (for example, that she is unique, funny etc.) you just go for the more ambiguous term and assume that others will catch the more precise descriptions, meanings and messages you packaged into to the "vibe" term? Them slangs are interesting phenomena I have to say, cheers :) @@Harry-fk5of

What a delight! The woman, the house, the furniture, and the art.
She's a true custodian!
I did not see any “old lady” in this video! Fabulous property made even more fabulous by its resident.
What a joyful story and presentation. When you love your house you can't hide it. :)
This video could not be more charming. Not only does the narrator lovingly describe the space, she inhabits it so naturally. It makes me smile that she lives in that delightful house.
This lady is a legend ❤ Modern house, I was afraid to blink! So many details, I’m in awe with both the owner and the house 😊
do you know the name of this creative women ?

This lady would be excellent company and has a classic house, great video.
What a lovely story! How lovely to buy your dream house! I did giggle when she referred to herself as an ‘old lady’, she’s got more vitality than most younger people. ❤
I know, the confidence and ownership in that statement makes the idea of being an o'ld lady' a goal rather than an inveitability.
@@lb003g0676 Well said!
Reminding myself that envy is a deadly sin! What a fantastic house. Thanks for opening your doors to us, Julia.
I believe in something
I call
" generous envy " . 💛
She dreamed a dream you can too 😉
One minute in...and i know im going to like this house🤷🏾♀️
So lovely to see Shelves of books properly not backwards or wrapped in white paper or see just as props. It is like her Art, it shows her personality and enjoyment making her home feel loved, calm and relaxing.
Exactly.
OMG, who does that??
@@millie9814 sadly lots of trend followers!
@@millie9814 Interior Designers or people who don't read. 😒
@@millie9814my thought exactly ! Sounds criminal
Could listen to this lady and her stories all day. What a woman. What a house. A home. Beautiful life.
I love the fact the she interacted with a lot of architects in her life and have become knowledgeable about it. Such an amazing woman
The Modern House, you all out did yourselves with this one! A beautiful home and story told well. And the music. Cheers!

OMG. House envy! Dear Julia - you are not an old lady. Your passion will keep you forever young.
Julia-I was an undergraduate student at the IAUS in 1982. I’d like to think we crossed paths, but it has been such a long time and my memory isn’t that good! Your house is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
This woman is magic. I love her. What an inspiration for living a long vibrant, vital life never losing the joy of wonder..
You are so fortunate to live in this iconic house. Beautiful architecture is timeless.
Good to see someone with real love and taste on architecture took this house.
Wow wow wow! Amazing! So refreshing to see a Brit appreciate the beauties of mid-century architecture!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This exquisite woman is a joy to watch and listen to. She is the energy within her home. If I lived in the UK I would ask her permission to visit.
What a storied house! I love how every nook has a narrative. Her home has so much life; she has so much life - gives me a model for how I want to live.
obsessed with ALL of this. she's amazing, the house amazing, the framing (I'm a framer) amazing!
Thanks for including my music!
She's living all of our dreams! Congratulations Julia.
Lovely house, beautifully done - just the right kind of paradise for one lucky person.
I'm in love with Julia, her art, her house and her super cool style. Having studied at the AA I can feel the vibe of those drawings and photos. What fabulous episode! x
Loved seeing this home. The poster in the kitchen above the sink is artwork made by my grandfather. I gasped when I saw it, and am rather touched that is lives in such a well-curated space.
I genuinely want all her collector furniture. Appreciate art historians, and architectural connoisseurs.
This is the most gorgeous place I've ever seen.... her decor is impeccable.
That is a fantastic House. I really like the warmth of the eclectic
things she has in the House. She is so Happy and I am Happy for her.
Congratulations to her!

Sublime house, furnishings and collections. A tribute to an era, to architects and modern London. Envious as heck.
What a stunning home. How lovely that she was able to make her dream a reality.
On a more envious note, I would kill for that kind of balcony/location/the size of those windows!
This would be a great house for a single or couple. Julia made me love it even more
What a lovely, tidy, light-filled, practical house! And such gorgeous views of the trees!
Her house reminds me of my great aunt’s house because of the overall sixties vibe. Very different homes but same feeling. What an unexpected treat.
Beautiful house and a beautiful soul who owns it! I could listen to Julia talk about architecture for hours
me too!
Such a beautiful home and extraordinary person. What an inspiration!
loved the house, Julia is a total vibe. The house exudes light and living.. thank you for sharing
I'm so happy for her, the house suits her perfectly! It is beautifully designed and tailored for her.
I’ll never be completely happy with my own house after seeing this one! I love it! You are so lucky!!
The house reflects the amazing soul of its owner. What a delight to see someone happily inhabiting her home!
I want to be her when I grow up
Julia is fortunate to have her dream home. Lovely woman. Lovely windows.
That "old lady" has style! Her house is very modern, yet very inviting.
Julia Bloomfield emits passion for her home and her craft. So great to experience her talking about her building.
This was so awesome to experience with Julia and thank you eternally J for introducing me to Aldo Rossi!!!!
This house is perfectly designed, from the architecture to the furnishings. Dreams really do come true ❤️
they do.
She is the best! And befits this perfect little house down a leafy quiet lane on the edge of Regent’s Park
Lovely youthful lady certainly not old, and what a beautiful home 👏🏻
No wonder you waited for this house,it’s just beautiful like a rain drop ,so full of light and greenery ,happy days ahead !
Watching every day videos of 30yo people with a flat designed and furniture bought from scratch makes clear we need more mature people examples. There is the true knowledge, practicality, comfort, endurance and not simply consumism and latest trend.
There is a feeling of great peace in this place. Partly it's the neighbourhood, the brick and mature plants and trees. But the architecture and the interior shifts that have taken place over the years really does give a warm casual vibe to the home. Interesting, not overdone, still chic of course, but not severe or trying too hard at all. I like this story and Julia fits very well there.
Its not my personal taste but it is a gorgeous home - timeless and modern. This lady has a very young spirit. Some of the chairs look beautiful but hard and a little uncomfortable. I like a little bit of cushion. But, for someone in great shape like Julia, they are perfect.
What a fabulous woman. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Mazal tov! Absolutely meant to be. Hoping to be as lucky as her one day ❤️ the fact that this became available, complete destiny
Her enthusiasm is infectious .
Simply beautiful
I am obsessed with this lady. She is so well spoken and seems so kind and gentle. What a delight to watch.
What a lovely home. I liked everything about it. It has a great view and is blessed with lights. All furniture and decorations fit so well. Absolutely enjoyed watching this.
Inspiring and delightful
Julia, we are of the same generation, I suspect. Your home is lovely - I’m so happy you were able to buy it. It is perfect, and its history so interesting.
How nice that she gets to live in the perfect house for her! And she had already collected all the right furnishings.
Beautiful home and beautiful icons of modern design. Would love to browse that book collection!
The top floor is a slice of paradise 👏
Congratulations on a fulfillment of something you desired. The house definitely absorbed your collections in fine style!
Stunning property; a treasure of the design world with an owner who appreciates it and will be a caretaker of the legacy. 👏👏
Whatever exudes of her makes me want to be her friend. I feel we could have very long and meaningful talks about life and her own knowledge. Wonderful home for a wonderful woman! And nothing close to an ''old lady''. Just wisdom!
I love the brightness of the home and the beautiful trees outside the windows.
I love this house. So many windows with views of greenery, a wonderful bookcase, cosy corners. The list goes on. Interesting lady with fascinating stories to tell.
Juila seems to be part of architecture history as well as beeing a fan, having been part of the AA, Oppositions, Getty research, and known so many people from the scene! Interesting tour of the house, crongratulations! 🥳
This home is beatiful. And so is the owner's spirit.
This stunning house is the bookends of an amazing life in Architecture and design. I love all her fond objects and pictures. A beautiful modern, comfortable home.
She has had a very blessed life. Not everybody's dreams come true as hers did. The house is beautiful especially her bedroom with the gorgeous balcony!!!
Beautiful: her, the film, the day, the house.
Very much enjoyed this great video of this beautiful house. Loving the story of Julia's life from a student at the AA to eventually ending up in the house she always knew and loved. Julie is a lovely lady and her life story is fascinating.
I can feel how satisfied she is with her life. If that’s not happiness then I don’t know what it is.
Beautiful house. The natural light looks fantastic, well captured by videographer. 👏
Beautiful house! And what a rockstar she is ❤
what a wonderful lady, what a wonderful house.
the house looks so peaceful
What a beautiful space & home. Full of charm
Yes - so comfortable & soothing & perfect - thank you for a epic tour - I loved every minute - great collection of books - it's one of the best homes I've seen on RUclips - thank you - thank you.
Beautiful house indeed.
It’s so interesting and amazing seeing icons talk about their past like they literally had a whole life before them lived well and everything. It’s hard to be imagine, hope to have that myself ❤❤❤❤ lovely house so happy for you
What a wonderful house ! What a wonderful lady !
What a fascinating lady. The home is perfect. I could watch this for hours with more in depth details, but fear it would be intrusive of her privacy. Thanks for letting us see inside this gem.
I have had that book for nearly 30 years and studied it often - this is a very real treat - thank you!
What a vibrant personality. I'm in awe of her. I think she'll live forever! So far so good !! 😊👏
Love this story of Julia manifesting her dreams into reality. Such passion. Thank you The Modern House.
Fabulous house. I used to live in Regents Park Road too, in 1976.
What a wonderfully charming modern home. Perfectly livable and loved.
What a fabulous featurette. I'd love more with Julia, please! 🤍
I second this!
Truly my dream home!!!
This woman is an icon!
What a legend ❤ beautiful soul and what a beautiful home you have waited so long for ❤ the windows are amazing fabulous views xxx
