“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.
Can you explain how you could tell she was an extraordinary person? Curious about this. Great to hear though and she's clearly got wonderful architectural taste.
@@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
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.
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. ❤
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.
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!
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.
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! Jeff
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'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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam - thank you - thank you.
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.
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!!!
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.
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! 🥳
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!

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

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

What a delight! The woman, the house, the furniture, and the art.
Could listen to this lady and her stories all day. What a woman. What a house. A home. Beautiful life.
This woman is magic. I love her. What an inspiration for living a long vibrant, vital life never losing the joy of wonder..
What a joyful story and presentation. When you love your house you can't hide it. :)
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.

This lady would be excellent company and has a classic house, great video.
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
I did not see any “old lady” in this video! Fabulous property made even more fabulous by its resident.
I did. John Winter worked at the AA 1960 to 1964, so Julia must be at least about 80 in this video.
Good to see someone with real love and taste on architecture took this house.
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!
Wow wow wow! Amazing! So refreshing to see a Brit appreciate the beauties of mid-century architecture!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are so fortunate to live in this iconic house. Beautiful architecture is timeless.

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.
She's living all of our dreams! Congratulations Julia.
One minute in...and i know im going to like this house🤷🏾♀️
OMG. House envy! Dear Julia - you are not an old lady. Your passion will keep you forever young.
obsessed with ALL of this. she's amazing, the house amazing, the framing (I'm a framer) amazing!
I also noticed the framing. Could you explain what makes these frames look so good?
What a lovely, tidy, light-filled, practical house! And such gorgeous views of the trees!
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!

Lovely house, beautifully done - just the right kind of paradise for one lucky person.
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.
The top floor is a slice of paradise 👏
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
This is the most gorgeous place I've ever seen.... her decor is impeccable.
Thanks for including my music!
Beautiful house and a beautiful soul who owns it! I could listen to Julia talk about architecture for hours
me too!
Her enthusiasm is infectious .
loved the house, Julia is a total vibe. The house exudes light and living.. thank you for sharing
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!
Such a beautiful home and extraordinary person. What an inspiration!
I'm so happy for her, the house suits her perfectly! It is beautifully designed and tailored for her.
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.
I am obsessed with this lady. She is so well spoken and seems so kind and gentle. What a delight to watch.
I love the brightness of the home and the beautiful trees outside the windows.
No wonder you waited for this house,it’s just beautiful like a rain drop ,so full of light and greenery ,happy days ahead !
What a fabulous woman. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
This was so awesome to experience with Julia and thank you eternally J for introducing me to Aldo Rossi!!!!

Stunning property; a treasure of the design world with an owner who appreciates it and will be a caretaker of the legacy. 👏👏
