September 11th marks the birthday of one of the mostextraordinary musicians - Moby. In his 49 years, he has gone from living in a poor apartment in Harlem to buying his own castle in the Hollywood Hills, and this castle is worth seeing. As Moby himself says, his current home is the complete opposite of those tiny, gloomy apartments in which he lived as a child. When the musician first saw the castle in the Hollywood Hills, built in 1920, he decided that it was the materialization of his childhood dream and, without hesitation, bought it.
In contrast to the ideal exterior, the fillingThe interior of the house did not suit Moby's tastes. The abundance of dark wood, the predominance of black, dark gray and dark brown tones - all this was repugnant to the musician's light creative nature. Moby reconstructed the castle, giving the interior a more elegant and restrained look. However, he retained such characteristic details as wooden ceiling beams, oak spiral staircases and Gothic fireplaces.
The decor is done in American style.mid-20th century. According to Moby, it is the perfect compromise between the heavy furniture of the 20s and the plastic design delights of the 21st century. In addition, thanks to the combination of American and English styles, the house has acquired a unique and inimitable look.
The originality of the house and its ownerare emphasized by unusual decorative accessories: vintage posters, graphic illustrations for cartoons, globes from the musician's personal collection, original architectural plans of the house in picture frames. All these things do not immediately catch the eye. You notice them only upon detailed examination of the interior. This is exactly the effect Moby was trying to achieve when creating the decor of the rooms. He did not want the interior of the house to distract attention from the magnificent views from the windows.
