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.

    Set your goals straight. Goals could vary from building brand awareness, customer engagement, to increasing credibility and trust. To ensure the success of your campaign, you have to point out firsthand what your goals are and align your content from there. It’s good to know your objective so you are effective in using budget and investment.

    Yes, despite all of that listing down, you will still need to sit
    and compose a full response, the same way you would
    write any essay. Each format pressupposes some formation plus design for citing rephrased and
    echoed resources in favor of all various printed, internet, along with other
    types of resources. If you say because again and again, the one thing people will be
    aware of happens because – it’s going to stifle your argument in fact
    it is on top of the list of issues you should
    avoid within your academic work.

  3. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something.
    I believe that you simply can do with some percent to power the message house a little bit, however other than that,
    this is excellent blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

  6. Define Metrics. You’ll know your content marketing’s effective when you’re tracking your progress. Keep in mind of “Key Performance indicators” (KPI) when you’re tracing. KPI is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a company is achieving key business objectives. A few common metrics include page visits, traffic from content, shares, conversion, time on site, and bounce rate- it all depends on what you want to achieve for your campaign.

    A motivating discussion is worth comment.
    I do think that you need to write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo matter
    but generally people do not speak about such issues. To the next!
    Best wishes!!

  22. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    (iii) You are accountable for the work, so keep a professional attitude when confronted with your customers.
    Understand the niche – While writing the essay, first thing you must
    do is always to define the subject. Remember that should
    you be new at college you’ll only progress
    should you practice, so strive on each assignment as you may be enhancing academic ability as a copywriter with each one.

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
