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.

Hello! This post could not be written any better!
Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate!
He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to
him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Excellent way of explaining, and pleasant post to obtain facts concerning
my presentation focus, which i am going to present in college.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
I’ve learn several good stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how a lot effort you set to create
one of these excellent informative web site.
fantastic points altogether, you just won a new reader.
What would you recommend about your submit that you just made some days in the past?
Any positive?
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
If you wish for to obtain a good deal from this piece of writing then you have to apply such methods to
your won weblog.
Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that
would be ok. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.

to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you
presented it. Too cool!

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for
me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
Superb work!
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
I feel that is among the such a lot significant info for me.
And i am satisfied reading your article. However should observation on some basic issues, The
web site style is great, the articles is really nice : D.
Good activity, cheers
You ought to be a part of a contest for one of the best websites online.
I most certainly will highly recommend this site!
Aw, this was an extremely good post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a really good article… but what
can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t manage
to get anything done.

Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you
have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo
News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Many thanks
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
As a Newbie, I am constantly browsing online for articles
that can be of assistance to me. Thank you
