When I wrote the original Cullen House article I never imagined it would gain the popularity it did. As promised, I have been in contact with Jeff Kovel from Skylab Architecture and have prepared the following interview/bio along with a few more images for all the mad fans!
“I am in architecture, development, and rock and roll.”
– Jeff Kovel
Jeff Kovel grew up just outside of New York City and lived there until he attended Cornell University’s Architecture school. Since then he has made his way to the West Coast and in 1996 he finally settled down in Portland, Oregon. However, it was while growing up in New York that Jeff realised he wished to become an architect. His family had begun work on a new home and a young Jeff thus developed a new fascination for both building and design.
It was three years after arriving in Portland when 26 year old Jeff founded his own architecture firm, Skylab architecture. He admits that he started his practice at a very young age and wishes that he’d worked under other architects beforehand. Nevertheless, Skylab Architecture has grown into a fully fledged successful firm. When asked what the most rewarding aspect of practicing architecture is, Kovel explains “We [architects] have carved out a niche that allows us to explore and innovate. The most rewarding part of this career is the work which we are able to create with this open format.”
Kovel likens his own design philosophies to storytelling. “We bring concepts to life, each of these concepts is a story,” he says. “The paragraphs are like spaces, the words, materials. Each project is a unique deep investigation into this story telling…
Our process is research based, and iterative. We look for authentic meaning and relationships. We do not rush aesthetic conclusions.”
Kovel explains that his inspiration comes from many different architectural sources. “I love many progressive architects from all eras of modernism, I appreciate the periods prior as well. There isn’t a subject I would rather talk about.”
As I’m sure many of you can relate, Jeff Kovel and Skylab architecture became known to me through the film Twilight; what many of us have come to know as the Cullen residence is actually the ‘Hoke Residence’, so I asked Jeff about how the house came to be.
“The Hoke residence was originally built as a ‘spec’ house [This simply means it was built, with the speculation of finding a suitable buyer], or a project built without a client as a development for sale.
After two days on the market, the house was purchased by the director of footwear design at Nike, John Hoke. Following a cover story in a northwest architecture publication, The Hoke’s were approached by a film location scout, a little film called Twilight.”
“We designed the house in 2006, completed construction in 2007. We have designed an additional residence next door that will begin construction once we locate another vampire”
“This December, we took our staff to see the movie to start our holiday party. We all loved it. We have been receiving fan mail from all over the world, including many inquiries for the house plans – contacts from Croatia, The Philippines, Buenos Aires, and Melbourne Australia among others.”
There is more to Skylab architecture beyond the Hoke House – amoungst Skylab’s impressive folio is also the following..

] 미국 복권인 ‘파워볼’의 당첨자가 세계 복권 사상 최대 당첨금액인 15억 달러(1조8000억 원)에 당첨돼 실수령액에 관심이 쏠리고 있는 가운데 한국과 미국의 복권 당첨시 지급하는 세금 체계에 누리꾼들의 관심이 쏠리고 있다.
14일(현지시간) AP통신의 보도에 따르면 로스앤젤레스 근교 치노힐스의
편의점 세븐일레븐에서 파워볼 1등 당첨자가 나왔다.
1등 당첨자의 실수령액은 약 5억5800만 달러(6678억 원) 정도인 것으로 알려졌다.
미국은 구입자가 파워볼에 당첨되면, 면 복권
운영사에 판매·관리비 등의 명목으로 당첨금의 38% 가량을 지급해야 한다.
또 당첨자는 각 주에서 부과하는 세금과 별도로 연방정부에 당첨금의 25%의 세금을 공통으로 납부해야한다.
아울러 캘리포니아 복권사무소는 1등 외에도 6개 번호 중 5개를 맞춘 당첨자도 12명 나왔다고 말했다.
파워볼 제외 5개를 맞춘 2등 당첨자는 100만 달러(약 12억
원), 파워볼 포함 5개일 경우는 50만 달러(약 5억 원)의 당첨금을 받는다.
캘리포니아주는 별도의 세금을 부과하지 않는다.
이러한 가운데 만약 한국에서 1조8000억 원의 로또 당첨금이
나온다면 실수령액이 얼마가 될지 여부에 대한 관심도 덩달아
높아지고 있다. 현재 국내 로또 세금은 금액에 따라 다르게
측정된다. 국내 로또는 게임비(1000원)를 제외하고 당첨금을 기준으로 세금을 계산한다.
이에 따라 5만 원이하는 세금이 없으며,
당첨금 100% 수령한다. 5만 원 초과 3억 원 미만의 경우는 소득세 20%와 주민세 2%를 포함한
22%를 세금으로 제하고 받는다. 3억 원을 초과할
경우 소득세 30%와 주민세 3%를 포함해 33%를 제한
금액을 실 수령액으로 받는다. 만약 한국에서 1조8000억
원의 로또가 당첨될 경우 소득세와 주민세 약
593억9669만 원을 내고 약1조2060억 원을 수령하게 된다.
앞서 미국 복권인 파워볼은 지난해 11월부터 당첨자가 19회 연속 나타나지 않으면서
당첨금이 15억 달러(약1조8000억 원)으로 불어났다.
사상 최대 파워볼 당첨금은 6억5600만 달러(약 7800억 원)의 메가 밀리언 복권(2012년 3월)이었다.
당시 파워볼 1등 당첨번호 복권은 메릴랜드, 캔자스,
일리노이 등 3곳에서 나와 약 2억1860만 달러(약 2647억 원)
씩 나눠 가진 바 있다.
