In Los Angeles, his neo-Spanish Colonial home certainly does feel like a monastery, albeit a very stylish one with a Rick Owens daybed casually placed in front of a fireplace, a Haas Brothers marble bathtub that looks like a huge splash of water in the master suite, Faye Toogood's Roly Poly chairs at a game table, and a Francois-Xavier Lalanne gorilla bust presiding over the end of a hallway. I also really love how the kitchen as well as laundry room were completely wrapped in white subway tile with black grout. This limited color palette throughout unifies the entire home and adds to the contemporary, spartan feeling.
In New York City, a brownstone gets a similar treatment, but whereas the Los Angeles house is light, this one is dark, embracing reclaimed wood and rough plaster. There is a definite Scandinavian feeling in this home (one expects to see a Gustavian clock somewhere) and that, according to Murphy, is not an accident--his two adopted sons are of Swedish descent!
