Today, AD takes you inside Ryan Murphy’s beautiful Bel Air home. Designed in 1955 by Richard Neutra, the Brown House features what is believed to be the only double-wide living room designed by the legendary architect. Working with designer Trevor Cheney, the 'Feud' creator wanted the interiors to create a sense of conflict and act as a reimagining of classic midcentury design. Decorative pieces from the past 500 years of mid-centuries contrast a predominantly contemporary art collection. Murphy’s home might be breaking several traditional design rules, but it’s also full of whimsy and intrigue, opening up a world of creative possibilities. “I have discovered that the only thing that truly interests me is a space in which things are in conflict. It’s the same in storytelling. A real design conversation starts to unfold when things that aren’t supposed to go together, for whatever outdated reasons, begin to suggest unexpected affinities and surprising similarities.”
'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans' is streaming on FX now.

The Tiffany lamp wasn't chic or ironic. It was out of place as was a great deal of objects. Furthermore, this house is undeniably mid-century, we can all agree... the very random objects didn't make the house eclectic, just random. There wasn't a flow, it wasn't ironic. It just looked like a wealthy person on a shopping spree who lacks a vision.

I have never commented on KZfaq, but this was absurd for me. RM did not want to be relatable as all the other famous, highly notable individuals, & just take us through his house himself like a down to earth person? Instead he has it scripted, narrated by actresses he’s worked with, and shoots it in a way like every idea is the first time anyone has ever thought to do it. Go elsewhere sir. Part of why so many love the video format AD has been doing is it allows people to feel they have gotten to know the person a bit more. This did the opposite for me personally & I see some others agree. I’m see some still enjoyed it, but wouldn’t everyone have liked to get “to know” a bit more of Ryan through him, vs. all these famous actresses?

the structure itself is beautiful, but there really is no cohesion to the interior design. i understand the "conflict ethos" that he is going for, but i think there needs to be some sort of rhythm and flow to the space. otherwise it just looks like a showroom of random, super-expensive art and furniture scattered about with no rhyme or reason.

This isn’t new, it’s just a wealth flex. Going to stop shilling for people who make mediocre film media or show some real design innovation? I remember seeing a modern bookcase/storage boxy thing plopped into a baroque manse in an advert in your magazine in the 90’s, when it was paper only. The contrast of neoclassical pieces, contemporary art and mid century modern shows that mid modern stripped down functions as a backdrop. Not as pretty as the Frick, mind you, but not dissimilar.
