The 1939 Spanish-style villa by Pierpont Davis, located in Hollywood Hills, has been recently renovated by Office of BC for commercial real estate professional John Murphy. Despite initial hesitations due to its unconventional layout, Murphy was captivated by the home's impressive architectural features. After starting some renovations himself, he enlisted Office of BC, a newly recognized design firm, to help create a primary suite, leading to a comprehensive revamp. The design team embraced the home's history, drawing inspiration from past magazine features and focusing on preserving its distinctive qualities from the 1960s.
When John Murphy first saw the 1939 Pierpont Davis Spanish-style villa, he recalls, 'it was just a feeling—you kind of know within the first 10 seconds.'
Murphy's journey in renovating involved interviewing 22 interior designers before finding a fit with Office of BC, highlighting the connection they developed with the house.
The designs incorporated elements from past iterations of the home, with Murphy particularly fond of the 1960s updates that reflected a certain flair.
Murphy's decision to renovate stemmed from his need for a primary bedroom, which sparked a whole-house revamp that the designers embraced enthusiastically.
