Ryan Murphy and his husband, photographer David Miller, are no strangers to creating influential works — and over the last four years, they’ve made one their home.
“The room is its own work of art,” theAmerican Horror StoryandGleecreator, 53, tellsArchitectural Digestof the former studio of Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann, which he and Miller have worked to restore and renew with the help of Manhattan-based designer David Cafiero.
The elevated studio, featured inAD’s December issue, sits in Cape Cod’s Provincetown, a place close to Murphy’s heart: he and Miller married on the beach there in 2012, and later bought a waterfront property in the area to enjoy with their two sons, Logan, 7 next month, andFord, 5.
