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.

  7. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
    video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your
    intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could
    be giving us something enlightening to read?

    naturally like your website however you have to take a look
    at the spelling on several of your posts. Several of thjem arre rife with spellng issues and
    I find it very bothersome to inform thhe truth then again I’ll surely come back again.

    (iii) You are accountable on your work, so keep a professional attitude when confronted with your customers.
    Understand the niche – While writing the essay, first thing you must do would be
    to define this issue. If you say because over
    and over again, the only thing your reader is going to be alert to is
    really because – it’s going to stifle your argument and it’s
    also at the top of their list of issues you should avoid in your academic work.

  10. I visited various websites but the audio feature for audio songs
    present at this web page is in fact wonderful.

  11. What does this mean? In the practical sense, not much… but
    in the legal world, it works as a sort of sleight-of-hand that protects Uber in the event of a lawsuit.

    You see, under the law, employers are considered to be more responsible for the actions of their
    employees than they are for the actions of their independent
    contractors.
    Uber has used this argument to protect itself
    against third party plaintiffs many times, including in a
    lawsuit filed by the family of a young girl who was killed by
    an Uber driver while crossing the street. If they can use that
    defense against an innocent child, you can bet they’ll use it against you!

    However, this issue is still a legally hazy one.
    Strong legal precedent has not yet been established on this particular question, and different
    courts have come to different conclusions.
    Right now, the status quo seems to be that Uber drivers are
    considered employees in some areas, and independent contractors in others.

    Regardless, you can be certain that if you were hit by an Uber
    driver, the company will do what it can to avoid having to pay you a dime.
    In these situations, a personal injury attorney is more important than ever, and one with experiences in Uber cases is a definite plus.

    WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE IN AN UBER ACCIDENT
    If you find yourself in an Uber accident, you should
    take the same steps that you should take after any automobile accident.

    These steps include protecting your own safety by getting out
    of the line of immediate danger and calling 911 if
    anyone has been injured, remaining at the scene and sharing insurance information with any other drivers who were involved,
    calling the police if the accident is serious, and reporting it to your insurance company.

    The majority of the patterns that I have included here are not done in separate pieces like this
    but instead are worked in the round with seamless construction. Sometimes something a little bit different is nice, though,
    and that’s the case here. You work two different squares, one that is a traditional granny square
    and one that has a great heart design worked in the
    center.

    Lace Wigs “Now,” said he, “I may require to go in one night from Paris to Treport; let eight fresh horses be in readiness on the road, which will enable me to go fifty leagues in ten hours.””Your highness had already expressed that wish,” said Bertuccio, “and the horses are ready. I have bought them, and stationed them myself at the most desirable posts, that is, in villages, where no one generally stops.””That’s well,” said Monte Cristo; “I remain here a day or two arrange accordingly.” As Bertuccio was leaving the room to give the requisite orders,
    Baptistin opened the door: he held a letter on a silver waiter.”What are you doing here” asked the count, seeing
    him covered with dust; “I did not send for you, I think”Baptistin, without answering, approached
    the count, and presented the letter. “Important and urgent,” said he.Lace Wigs

    wigs for women Fashion Playtes is a mom owned business started by Sarah Mcllroy, that allows girls to design and embellish their own outfits to
    match their personal style. Sarah started the company because,
    as a girl, she designed most of her clothing and handed it
    over to her mom to sew. Since sewing is a bit of
    a lost art these days, Sarah wanted to make the design concept accessible to all girls..wigs for women
