I don’t know how many of you have seen the movie Twilight. It is actually, a love story between a vampire(acted out by Robert Pattinson) and a human(acted out by Kristen Stewart). The movie had people swooning over for a lot of different reasons. Being an architecture and interior design blog, we would kind of resist the temptation of discussing how good the movie was or how gorgeous Kristen looked in the movie and rather devote our attention to the ‘vampire’s’ home in the movie.
The Twilight house sports a dreamy look with glass doors and excellent forest views. The credit of the design goes to architect Jeff Kovel from Skylab Architecture and interior designer Lucy Metcalf. The house is really a treat to watch.
In this post we will highlight the screenshots from the movie that show you the interiors of the Twilight home and also other images from the Architect’s page.

The Cullen’s house kitchen (The Cullens usually never cook. They eat raw animals. Here, they are just being nice to Edward’s girlfriend.
)

Another humourous episode here. The Cullens don’t age. Edward has been ‘matriculating’ a lot he says. What you see there is an interesting piece of wall decor with differently coloured graduation caps!

Edward’s room. Yeah, he doesn’t have a bed too as vampires never sleep either. (Remind me not to date a vampiress
)
Those were the screenshots from the movie. The following are the real off-screen images of the house.(which is actually called Hoke’s House)
For those of you who are really into this house and looking for ways to recreate it, here is a Google sketchup model that could help you. You can click and drag the image below to get a 3D view of the Twilight house. (Use scroll wheel for zooming in and out)
Here is the download link for the Google SketchUp 6: Twilight House 3D Model
UPDATE 1: The trailer of the sequel to the Twilight Movie is out now. The new movie is titled ‘New Moon’ and the home featured in this does look a bit different. Not sure if the home shown in the birthday scene is really Cullens but take a look at the trailer here:
UPDATE 2: We have pictures from the New Moon House!

The best thing about reading a book before seeing the movie is creating the people and places in your own mind. As a designer, I’m always interested in comparing my idea of the sets with what the movie designer comes up with. “My” Twilight house was a more comfortable contempory home with lots of white. Neater, cleaner, sleeker.
yeah…
My idea was a modern house with lots of windows…
pretty much the designer got it right..
aLthough IDK about Edward’s room.. I picture it differently…
Does anyone know where homes house is? I heard it was in forks, washingon but I keep getting different locations
which specific house are you referring to? (home homes house doesn’t ring a bell) maybe we cud help hunt.
sorry i meant to type hokes house, i was typing with an itouch
We can now confirm that the house is in fact located in Portland, Oregon, USA.
who painted the abstract landscape painting hanging on the wall above edwards staircase.I would apprecieat any and all info on the artist and the painting itself.
Landscape painting from TWILIGHT! Took me very long to do this painting since is very big!
Here is the link for the painting: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/2365/landp.jpg
Wow! Good work! Any idea what the original is called?
I dont know the name of the original…it’s hard to find…I’m selling that painting
Well, Marina, your painting is very nice, but it certainly isn’t the painting from the Cullen House!
Does anyone actually know who the artist is of that painting?
I want to buy the wallpaper featured in the kitchen scene. It looks like intertwining branches with little birds on it. The shade is a purple colour. Does anyone know where this can be purchased?
Did you ever find the wallpaper because I am looking for that too. No luck at all. Tough thing to find. Thanks.

I know who lives here and although I’m not sure exactly where it is, I do know it’s in Portland, Oregon. In the movie, the house isn’t decorated as the owners have it, which is a LOT nicer. The house was designed on spec by Skylab Architecture.
While searching for unique, custom homes in Oregon I came across one builder who seems to build some very, very nice homes. Morrow & Sons and their site is http://www.morrowtimber.com . Can’t wait for New Moon.
Did anyone ever find information on the painting in the staircase?
have you had any luck finding out who the artist is on the painting in the staircase…. above it is picture #3.
Hi, does anyone know who designed the wallpaper in the kitchen scene! Im still searching for it.
Who did the art over the birthday cake in the New Moon Movie?
3333 NW Quimby St, Portland, OR, United States
thats the address to the cullens house! its abs amazing! would love to live in it! amazing architecture!
Hiya.
Does anyone know the name/artist of the long painting hanging behind Bella, when she get’s a papercut??
Think is amazing
Its the same one that’s on the staircase in twilight. I can’t seem to find out who it is – very frustrating you would think the artist would want to be known
No, it’s not the same one…not even close!
Hi, I was as well as you all fascinated with house and interior but the most I liked was in Edward’s room under the TV one wooden sculpture. Does anybody knows what it is and where can I buy it?

Hi! I was wondering if anybody knew the name or the artist of the two “paintings-drawings” hanging just around the corner of the cullen’s kitchen , the ones of two women in black and white? (picture 4 above)
Thanks!
