Locations favourite The Cullen's house from Twilight

January 10, 2009 |15:17 | Others By : Team X

For those of you that managed to take your eyes off romantic hero Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) in Twilight, you might have spotted the amazing house him and his family live in.

An impressive piece of modern architecture it isn’t quite the grand white building described so vividly in the Stephenie Meyer novels

But with a limited budget and a crammed shooting schedule who are we to turn our nose up at such an interesting movie location?

Like most of the locations in the supernatural romance the house used is situated in Portland, Oregon rather than Forks, Washington as per the book and was designed by architect Jeff Kovel of Skylab Architecture, built by Metcalf Construction and landscaped and decorated by Lucy Metcalf. Its owner John Hoke.

A Nike executive (earning the house the nickname “Nike House” by the movie’s production team) reportedly liked the idea of his gaffe housing sophisticated vampires and so it came to be that Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Edward Cullen came to live there.Like the book’s house, it’s located far from the road almost shrouded by the forest helping to deter eager Twilight tourists and its interiors are almost picture perfect.

There are the floor-to-ceiling windows, the white and wide open spaces and the forest views, all with a chic, modern and minimalistic style. But most importantly is Edward’s bedroom which like many teenage sanctuaries has plenty of shelving (both wall mounted and a Sapien bookcase) for books and CDs, a TV (though more hi-tech than most) and oodles of clippings and photographs strewn about. Less normal are the French doors and the absence of a bed. Hey, why bother when you’re an Immortal who doesn’t sleep?
