John and Phyllis Murphy were architects in Australia. Phyllis was also known for her work with wallpaper design and restoration.[1]
The Murphys completed a number of conservation projects through the National Trust (Victoria) in the 1960s and 1970s. Their most notable design work was created during the 1950s, some examples of which are in their home city, Melbourne, including the 1956 Olympic pool.
