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.

architect house12

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.

    Through my studies and in my practice, I have found that when we
    respond to the world around us from our true self, who we are, what we are, and accepting what is, only then can one experience not
    only self love but also happiness. It maybe clich to add but it is a fact: Loving yourself, for who and what
    you are, only then can you come to love others and share with others.
    Otherwise, like an empty vessel, one is limited to their desires, impulses, and false intentions.

    you’d like to talk to personally, and people you’d feel more comfortable emailing.
    It can get pretty exhausting to have the same conversation over and over again,
    and if you’re nervous about how some people might react, it can be easier to send them
    an email so they’ll have time to read and think before they see you again. Some people like
    to come out to everyone via email or letter, to encourage people to think, read up, and work
    through their issues on their own before having a conversation..

    cheap sex toys On the box, it says it is “Super Stretchy”.
    Let me tell you, this thing is indeed very stretchy! This is a good thing due to it’s length of only 4 1/4″ and the small slit opening. The sleeve is semi transparent, which I found to be oddly arousing, along with the opening somewhat resembling a purple vagina (really, purple?). cheap sex toys

    WTF is wrong with some of you people. Summary death for killing a kitten? Hyberbole is
    one thing, but this kind of talk from Americans? We established
    this country so people like that could not accuse, jail and execute you for
    whatever reason they think necessary (think witch
    trials). Yes.

  33. I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all
    site owners and bloggers made good content as
    you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever
    before.
