Happy to see that this masterpiece of a house is being conserved and loved, rather than getting demolished. On top of that it is being filled with story telling pieces rather than bland flatbox furniture. Remember it is always easier to criticise than to create. ❤
I have never commented on UA-cam, 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?
YES THIS. I literally for a second thought he had died, and paused the video at 5 seconds to check....what other possible reason could warrant such a stupid dramatic video?
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.
The Best thing Ryan Murphy ever done next to running w/ scissors, better than all his FX shows! Great taste, campy narration lol, everything was chef kiss! 😄
LMAO!😄🤣🤪😆 OMG, YES, ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE! Literally exactly what my first impression was! Thank you so much for making me laugh till my face hurt (and making me feel a little bit less alone in the Universe to boot!) ☮️&💓4🌌>♾️ peace & love for the universe infinitely
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.
The comment section mirrors the sentiment of conflict which is the basis of his homes perspective. The house and the viewers are entangled in this poetic thing called life.
It is highly unlikely that the monitor you saw this video on accurately represents color. Making judgements of that nature based on a UA-cam video are akin to evaluating a Beethoven symphony by listening to a 64 mbps MP3 file.
Is the narration supposed to be sarcastic or ironic? It’s so over the top, it can’t possibly be meant to be taken seriously. If it’s a parody, congrats it’s Documentary Now level hilarious. I mean, “Famously yodeled.” Really?
The style and pacing of this video makes me deliriously happy! If AD made design profiles in the 1950s, I'm sure they'd have a similar vibe. Thank you for shaking things up with this fun change in format... I love it!
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.
A delight to watch. Thank you to the uploader for a super vid that takes us to a world where in design and art there are many possibilities,, best wishes to the AD team,family,friends and fellow viewers.
The only thing more bizarre than the smash up of period designs is the multiple actresses providing the voice over narration to the short film. I think I like both.
I thought of lisping queens doing the narration, not movie stars. Maybe the cast of Drag Race would’ve made it truly postmodern and not so LA. Plus.. it’s a torso, not a bust, duh.
i normally love these tours. i mean really love them. this one came off very pretentious. having no humans in the frame made it very cold. i get the taste level is off the charts. the reverential voice overs didnt help. although mind boggling in execution and money, sorry to say....soulless.
My husband and I felt the same way. It was a "flex" as someone said above, but to me, the words that came to mind were "pretentious," and almost reeks of "insecurity." I felt almost like this fella was going so hard to show all those 8th-grade bullies how important he is now!@@justinbrovenick3023
Chic and elegant in a very upper crust California way, kind of updated Billy Haines? I get it, but it's not me. I agree that "discord" can be useful. but it's just not me. To each his own. Fun to look at and analyse.🙂🙂
So, basically the interior design is what all high end interior designers do.. they mix time periods with the furniture, lighting and objects.. and add contemporary art. lol
Pretentious is not why I watch this channel, I watch it for down to earth homes where the owners talk about their space and what they love about it... I think this was in bad taste. I just wanted to say FU to the whole thing, get me out of here.
Beautifully shot, narrated, & edited. Yet, I can't say that I like the house or the many death-themed/grotesque art pieces in it (I do like some of the other, more classical art pieces). The only way I'd live in that house is if I was paid a very large sum of money to live there or gave it to me for free. 😄
I was upset Sarah and Angela involved themselves in such pretentious foolishness by Ms KK was the nail. I wanted to see the house though so I'm back watching it with captions in silence 😂😂😂

TYSM Toots!
But why?
@@lisathompson5048 Oh, why not.🤷♂
@@lisathompson5048 Why NOT!!
I feel like I’m at the educational movie they play before you get to walk through the museum.
Having A-list actresses narrate your house's history and video tour for AD is a FLEX
ridiculous! and so pretentious! GROSS
As an artist myself, I find this inspiring.
@@lavaughnforbes8008 as an artist myself, I find it gauche and try hard.
Seriously a flex, It's interesting how they're keeping the Hollywood aesthetic alive,
The narration made me lol 😂
pretentious!
mf couldn’t even show up to his own house
I agree. I love it!
literally after the first clip jump lol
@@MichaelLaCorteArtDepartment100%. It shows that no matter how much money and fame you have, you can still be vapid & insecure. 😂
I wish i could see more of the house, like the usual videos of the channel
Channel - two "n"s sweety.
@@zeecee5881 my bad
Too many close-up shots. You don't see the impact of the architecture.
Kinda felt like a magazine or publication, yep.
@@that1thickpugg738what, AD feels like a magazine?
agreed
Agreed. It's a great film of collected objects and it captures the play of light and shadow... but what does the house look like?

It's art sweetheart! Lighten up, also, you should probably never comment on a UA-cam again!
it's pretentious and not in the sincere style that was AD!
YES THIS. I literally for a second thought he had died, and paused the video at 5 seconds to check....what other possible reason could warrant such a stupid dramatic video?
I dunno, he's a filmmaker? who likes to tell stories and not make it about himself but instead the artists and designers? @@arnoldpalma95
It's stupidity
These types of videos should have financial stakeholders listed like they're sponsor logos on sports jerseys
without even googling I can tell you Murphy is looking to sell this lmao
@@corhydron111 could be, but he only bought it in 2022 so that'd be strange
Seriously-UNSUBSCRIBING
Why is AD doing a commercial for Ryan’s Murphy’s house? This video gives me the creeps.
The house itself gives me the creeps.
Are we even surprised that media people are bunch of pervs
i came to the comments to see if anyone was feeling this way lol. the narrating is so weird too.
Same
@@beautyallaroundme724 it’s a piece of art. Useless ornaments give me the creeps.
Pretension, thy name is Ryan Murphy.
I got the giggles when Kim K started narrating… this is CAMP!
The design of the landscaping is beautiful
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.
This is camp. Thank you, Ryan.
When I hear “reimagine Neutra” I shut down. Let’s reimagine the Parthenon next.
The Best thing Ryan Murphy ever done next to running w/ scissors, better than all his FX shows! Great taste, campy narration lol, everything was chef kiss! 😄
I’m getting “American Psycho” vibes. No?
LMAO!😄🤣🤪😆
OMG, YES, ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE! Literally exactly what my first impression was! Thank you so much for making me laugh till my face hurt (and making me feel a little bit less alone in the Universe to boot!)
☮️&💓4🌌>♾️

well that was awesome and so interesting! Thank you! ❤🧡❤
The brown suede Tobia Scarpa couch set at 6:36 and the 1974 Nakashima desk at 9:19 were monumental!! Amazing vintage pieces
I see a lot of people don't like change. This was soothing and the house is beautifully done.
This whole thing veers very close to an SNL parody. The narration was painful.
Wow loved this besides all the negative comments… what an art collection ❤
The comment section mirrors the sentiment of conflict which is the basis of his homes perspective. The house and the viewers are entangled in this poetic thing called life.
😂
That "Gwyneth" painting is NOT on an aubergine coloured wall, THAT is _very clearly_ burnt umber! 😂😂😂😂
😂
@@jackiec859 It was thee _most_ pretentious F'ing thing that I have EVER typed! 🤣🤣
@@Digitalhunny Impressive!😅

@@avsystem3142 NO! I _need_ to know that I've posted ONE accurately pompous comment on this website _just_ ONCE dang it! *"IT'S BURNT UMBER!"* 🤣🤣🤣
This whole video and house reek of insecurities, over compensation and boredom. I have never disliked an AD video or property... until this one.
That Kardashian voice was so grating I almost turned it off, but the video was saved by Watts’ mesmerizing voice.
Remove the art pieces and you’ve got a middle school building with a $50k monthly landscaping bill.
😂😂😂I can't unsee that!!
Yeah but this was built in 1955, which is crazy futuristic
I love the butthurt comments 😂
Kitten has claws.
💯
The narration is unexpected but kind of fun.
pretentious and gross!
I really like the narration. Soothing ASMR vibes.
Except for Kardashian’s vocal creak 🤣
Is the narration supposed to be sarcastic or ironic? It’s so over the top, it can’t possibly be meant to be taken seriously. If it’s a parody, congrats it’s Documentary Now level hilarious.
I mean, “Famously yodeled.” Really?
wtf did I just watch
that's hilarious!
😅😅😅😅
Beautifully done.
Though the opening credits were a surprise to me I wasn’t expecting the narration.
The style and pacing of this video makes me deliriously happy! If AD made design profiles in the 1950s, I'm sure they'd have a similar vibe. Thank you for shaking things up with this fun change in format... I love it!
I was just transported. Thank you. Great video
Who knew Ryan had such exquisite taste 👏🏾👏🏾🥰
I thought this channel was about architecture, not art. I want to see the house, not the weird stuff that's in it.
I loved this style of video!
This maybe one of my favorite videos!
The landscape is superb
What a journey this house has become!
One of the finest houses in Los Angeles. Furnished and detailed impeccably. Maybe the best video AD has done in a while.
The most stunning house!!
I enjoyed that this was narrated by so many lovely people, interesting way to do an open door episode.
This isn’t new, it’s just a wealth flex.

... so he's selling the house.
He just bought it

Really nice everything. Thanks
The only thing more bizarre than the smash up of period designs is the multiple actresses providing the voice over narration to the short film. I think I like both.
what is odd about the smash up of period designs? ALL high end interior designers do it. Have you never paid attention to arch digest layouts? lol
Gorgeous
I love the celebrity VOs I don't know what happened the mix of these wonderful women I can't finish listening to the full episode.
for a min I thought Ryan Murphy actually lives here ha! very funny Ryan!
The narration threw me for a loop 😂😂 but I enjoyed it
I thought of lisping queens doing the narration, not movie stars. Maybe the cast of Drag Race would’ve made it truly postmodern and not so LA.
Plus.. it’s a torso, not a bust, duh.
The pack-a-day vocal fry - wonder who that was . . . 😂
This looks like a politicians office 😂
Someone should do a study on the Semiotics of the word ´European´ in AD videos
THIS VIDEOS ARE GREAT WHEN THE OWNER TALKS
its like they tried to muffle out kim k's vocal fry
the narration ate. lol I’m like wait I recognize that vocal fry
Very impressive/interesting art collection! I like the contrast very much but it can feel out of place at moments
i normally love these tours. i mean really love them. this one came off very pretentious. having no humans in the frame made it very cold. i get the taste level is off the charts. the reverential voice overs didnt help. although mind boggling in execution and money, sorry to say....soulless.
that's a hard NO on the taste level.
I was referring to being hit over the head with the provenance and stories of each significant piece in this overly curated event space.
My husband and I felt the same way. It was a "flex" as someone said above, but to me, the words that came to mind were "pretentious," and almost reeks of "insecurity." I felt almost like this fella was going so hard to show all those 8th-grade bullies how important he is now!@@justinbrovenick3023
It’s all so beautiful I nearly cried.
Chic and elegant in a very upper crust California way, kind of updated Billy Haines? I get it, but it's not me. I agree that "discord" can be useful. but it's just not me. To each his own. Fun to look at and analyse.🙂🙂
Literally looks like a California law firm
So, basically the interior design is what all high end interior designers do.. they mix time periods with the furniture, lighting and objects.. and add contemporary art. lol
❤🙌❤️
So we're just not gonna talk about that wall art, huh
Dude doesn’t eat babies or anything
I didn’t care much for the wall art, BUT art is subjective to the owner.
I think this place is spectacular! But I don’t think I could live there…
this was very tranquil
I didn’t realize modern meant weird and bad… but it does make sense
His Laguna Beach property is one of my all-time favorite properties
This isn’t the art piece they thought it was…
Visually breathtaking, it put me at ease
I could listen to Chloë Savigny read the phone book 🤤💕💕💕
Wow. Those were the longest eleven and a half minutes of my life.
And I will never get them back.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz......
You lost me at "entry ramp"
Quietly stunning and breathtakingly human. I love this place… it’s more than a house. I floated through.
More long videos, please 🥰
Can anyone credit the music score of this vid? The composer, performers? ... it's beautiful... thank you in advance!
Not my neo-contemporary style.
Would have Loved to see the Tom Ford Version!
this place was cool but the presentation was so overwhelmingly pretentious.
A lot of haters ! Beautiful house and objects
Not even the script convinced me kim knows what shes talking about
What was the point of having all the different people talking about it, did they think we would be impressed?
The house itself is, in fact, a jewelry box
after all this, what is the square footage of this house again?
The narration was just too much… in a bad way. I couldn’t watch this one all the way through.❤
Amazing video 👍🏿
I guess AD is running out of houses to show😢
Beautiful design mansion that has beautiful art pieces.
It's like some episode of Reading Rainbow.
Pretentious , but beautiful.
Pretentious is not why I watch this channel, I watch it for down to earth homes where the owners talk about their space and what they love about it... I think this was in bad taste. I just wanted to say FU to the whole thing, get me out of here.
I mean the house IS beautiful, but how pretentious is this video?
The comments are funny. I agree. This is a wierd one. HAL with a female voice.
Beautifully shot, narrated, & edited. Yet, I can't say that I like the house or the many death-themed/grotesque art pieces in it (I do like some of the other, more classical art pieces).

All that’s missing is Morgan Freeman
You lost me at Kim k
