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.

    Herver Leger. The bandage dress has re-established itself

    of work? I’m completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views

    tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    me cellphone when on a bike journey and the telephone drains itself looking for a community in no service areas.

    If this is the truth then results might be skewed or even the writer may be not able to draw any sensible
    conclusions. It is common for teachers to lament that students are
    unable to write despite having done very well inside the PMR English
    exam for 15-year-olds. Remember that if you are new
    at college you’ll only get better in case you practice, so give your very best on every single assignment
    as you will be improving your academic way with words-at all with each one.

  39. Very rapidly this site will be famous amid all blogging visitors,
    due to it’s fastidious articles or reviews

    Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article.
    I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful info.

    Thanks for the post. I’ll definitely return.

    Yes, even with everything that listing down, you continue to must sit and
    compose an entire response, the same way you would write any essay.
    The goal is usually to find a strategy to give you a complete response, all while
    focusing on as small a location of investigation as possible.
    If you say because repeatedly, one and only
    thing your reader will likely be conscious of is really
    because – it is going to stifle your argument and it is at the top of this list of
    items you should avoid inside your academic work.

  43. I ddo not even know hhow I ended up here, but I thought this post wwas great.

    I do nott know who you are but certainly you aree going to a famous blogger if you
    are not already ;) Cheers!

  44. Just fabulous. Who wrote this and how can we get more?

  45. You can certainly see your enthusiasm within the work you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. All the time follow your heart.|

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

  47. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!|
