I am hopelessly un-hip as far as the Twilight series. I have not read any of the books; however, a few weeks ago, I found myself at the movie. I must say that the movie was entertaining. There was a certain eerie sense to the film that was artfully created with the actors, settings, camera, costumes, and make-up. I enjoyed the film and appreciated the creativity involved in making it.
Yet, the element in the movie that I left most intrigued by was the modern home inhabited by the Cullen family. The home was breathtaking in every way. The lines were perfect with many large panes of glass placed throughout. The use of the glass brought the surrounding forest into the home and I had the sense that while in the home, one might feel as if one were living with the trees. The furnishings were thoroughly modern, minimal and artistic. The home conveyed serenity, quiet and calm. I wonder if Frank Lloyd Wright would have appreciated the design as it was portrayed in the movie. I was fascinated. I later learned from the designtavern blog that the house is actually the Hoke house, owned by a Nike design executive (of course), and located in (I think) Portland, Oregon. Very nice.
