A Home for Slower Days

Some places invite you to do more. This one invites you to slow down. Cook, read, talk, rest — or do nothing at all. Settle into the color, light, and small details that quietly bring the house to life.

Coffee in the morning light, long conversations at the table, and quiet evenings that stretch a little longer than expected.

Maison Murphys is designed for the simple rhythm of being at home, just away from your own.

A Home Worth Talking About

From magazine pages to everyday moments.

“The moment we walked into Maison Murphys, it felt less like a vacation rental and more like a thoughtfully curated home. Every detail felt intentional — from the furniture and artwork to the materials and lighting.

What stayed with us most was how the design shaped the way we spent our time. We found ourselves lingering over morning coffee, cooking together, reading, and simply enjoying the different spaces.”

Ed & Franciéli — Berkeley, CA

“The home exceeded our expectations. Every space felt thoughtfully designed, colorful, and full of surprises. We loved cooking together, ending our nights outside under the string lights, and feeling at home from the moment we arrived.”

Stephine — San Francisco, CA

Shaped by a Shared Vision

Maison Murphys began with two designers, two disciplines, and one shared vision. From hand-painted murals and custom furniture to curved forms and unexpected details, every element was created as part of that vision. The result is a home where architecture and graphic design come together to shape not just how the space looks, but how it feels.
