Fit for a vampire.. The Hoke House (the Cullen House from Twilight) – Skylab Architecture


Edit!: Also see my interview with Architect — Jeff Kovel Here

UPDATE: Interior Images of the residence from New Moon HERE

Myself and two other architecture students went along to see the new vampire come romance movie twilight..

..We made the mistake of going opening day. Aussie kids are currently on their Christmas break and amoungst them, screaming teens, all hungry for the blood (like vampires.. get it?) of teen heart throb, ex- harry potter star, Robert Pattinson or ‘Edward Cullen’ as those who have seen the movie might know him.

Edward’s room.. see more on it here at Apartment therapy

It might come as a surprise to you, that myself and my friends, all in our twenties (and two of us male..) all swooned at one point..

But it probably wasn’t for the same reason as majority of the audience.

I’m talking about the Cullen’s House..

After seeing Manvi’s post for the house featured in twilight over at her blog Mochatini, I decided to do some of my own exploring..

Edward Cullen: “What did you expect? Coffins, and dungeons and moats?”
Bella: “Um..not the moats.”

Well I’m happy to say that there were no coffins, dungeons or moats.. but rather a splendid contemporary home, that’s certainly worth investigating…

The Hoke House is by architect Jeff Kovel via ‘Skylab Architecture’ it’s 4300 squares, built by Metcalf Construction, with Lucy Metcalf as the interior designer and landscaper.

The amazing symmetry and rough floor looks great, and the (perhaps over used) hanging lamp looks great in this living room.

The meals and dining area look warm and inviting, a strong use of timber again, simple tables and furniture used effectively.
Notice the floor to ceiling windows wrapping the kitchen that provide great natural lighting as well as splendid green, forest views.

The contemporary boxy home is well positioned on the site, the architects have taken advantage of the natural sloping landscape and have strategically placed the home so it looks out over the greenery.

It’s the use of timber that really does if for me, the striking middle floor of three level home creates a nice contrast with the industrial grey of the other stories, and again, relates back to it’s site, fitting in nicely with its green forest setting.

Modern, white and pristine bathrooms

Amazing bathroom window/skylight would allows its users to feel very free and open when stripped down and having a shower.

The contemporary feel is continued inside the home. The walls are a tradational modern clean cut white, though the clever use of timber is continued into the home as floorboards and on the stairs.

The house is open and bright and naturally well lit through the obvious use of large and multiple windows.

A bit of a side note, Twilight was a great movie and is definitely worth watching, (i’ve just started the first book also!)
But i’ll leave it up to you to decide which you prefer, the eye candy of Edward Cullen or his home.

    Be both a helpful guide through complex issues plus an informed judge when choices must be
    made. Understand the topic – While writing the essay, one thing you should
    do is usually to define the niche. Remember that in case you are new at college you’ll only improve should you practice, so
    strive on just about every assignment as you will end up enhancing your academic ability as a copywriter with each one.

  38. Howdy, I believe your web site may be having web
    browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your site
    in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in IE,
    it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a
    quick heads up! Besides that, great website!

    Nice post. I learn something new and challenging
    on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It’s always intereesting

  43. massandra.su says:

    I was curious if you ever considered changing
    the stfructure of your site? Its very well written; I
    love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little mire in the way of content so
    people could connect witgh it better. Youve got an awful lot of text ffor only having one or
    2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  44. Thank you for this good report, it really helps. I will definitely share it with others. Do share more insights with us.

  45. Pls yomi this is a mistake in your post this is not the last of their flagship… Check out that picture very well it carry Alcatel interface …just to tell you that BlackBerry as sold the right to manifacture phones to TLC that is Alcatel parent company they are the ones that will continue making BB from 2017 upward

  46. Says a lot about the video game, and those who believe they have real musical talent, when you see the people who composed the song fail at playing it with a plastic controller. I hope this serves as a catalyst to deminish the egos of some crazed guitar hero fans I know out there. Not that it’s a bad game, it just has bad followers.

  47. Don’t ever change a thing about this site. I enjoy it so much.

  48. i have tried to delet hao123 but it couldnt either from IE or from google chrome. please to tell me wot should i do.

  49. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem
    to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with
    browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you
    know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get
    the issue solved soon. Cheers
