The iconic Hoke House in Portland, originally designed by Skylab Architecture and made famous as the “Cullen House” in the “Twilight” movie series, is now a set. Built in 2007, the Hoke House joins other notable architectural landmarks included in the LEGO Architectural Series.

The new set was inspired by LEGO enthusiast Nick Micheels and was one of two winning LEGO Ideas entries.

“It’s an honor to see our work resonate with so many people,” Jeff Kovel, founder of Skylab, stated in a news release. “Being included in the LEGO collection alongside iconic landmarks like Fallingwater, Notre Dame, and the Taj Mahal is – in of itself – incredible recognition. It is not lost on us that LEGO is one of the world’s most recognizable brands. Its ability to inspire creativity and imagination in both young people and adults aligns closely with Skylab’s ethos of exploration and discovery. We’re excited to contribute to that spirit of creative engagement and see our work evolve into new expressions.”

The “Twilight” series is among the top 20 highest-grossing movie franchises of all time, according to CBR. The “Cullen House” set includes Carlisle’s infirmary, the kitchen/living space, and the library. The set also includes seven mini character figures: Charlie Swan, Jacob Black, Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, Alice, Rosalie, and Carlisle Cullen.

Skylab, founded in 1999, is known for designing a range of residences as well as music venues, resorts, and other high-profile projects including the Serena Williams Building at Nike’s World Headquarters, N M Bodecker Foundation building, and the Columbia Building for the city of Portland.
