People around the world have already been hooked by the amazing work of Stephanie Mayer. Not only the books, but also the Twilight Saga films were a huge success. Readers love book characters even more when they see them on the screen. The story has become so real and true, even though the plot is more than fantasy. For many, Bella, Edward and Jacob became not just the heroes of a popular book, but the personification of true love.
But, of course, in addition to the story that excited millions of fans around the world, and the young stars who built their careers thanks to Twilight, the film has many other interesting things that we do not always notice. Cars, locations and even clothes were matched perfectly according to the book.
Let's take a look at one of the best things in the film - the Cullen House.
House selection
Like the splendid mansion of Tony Stark from the movie Iron Man, the Cullen House of Twilight impressed many with its beauty. It exactly matches Mayer's description: a rich modern house located in a secluded area in the forest. The villa is owned by John Hawke, director of Nike. Surely he is very proud that it was his house that was chosen for the film. The construction of the villa was completed in 2007, just in time for the filming of the first film "Twilight". The producers considered Hoke House to be the perfect place for the vampire family.
Let's take a look at a few frames and compare how this house looks on the screen in real life.
Acquaintance
For the first time, the Cullen House appears in Twilight when Bella Swan sets off to meet Edward's family. This is a large beautiful building with rectangular shapes, painted in a muted shade. The south wall is almost completely made of glass, the interior overlooks the river. In the film, the house is very modern and open, Edward says: "This is the only place where we do not need to hide."
Hoke house
Thanks to the use of natural materials, this elegant modern home of John Hawke fits very organically into the forest environment. In the darkness of trees, anyone will see this brightly lit house. Although there are not many trees around it, they were added during the editing of the film.
Modern vampires must live in a modern house. The Cullens must have had a great time at John Hawke’s villa. Designers did an amazing job: in addition to great design, they used elements of "green architecture" in the Cullen house. The use of eco-friendly materials is very appropriate when building a building in a forest area.
