Zombies are all and good, but how does it hold up against those religious folks that insist on knocking at my door at 6 am to ask me if I've found their personal lord and savior?
Sadly, there is a law against shooting those, but you COULD ignore them.

I'm gonna look at this realistically, well, as realistic as you can be when it comes to zombies.

I'm sorry but this does not look secure at all. Why have an Xbox when you can have security cameras watching all of the blind spots around your base? There are too many windows that are big enough for a human to slide through if they can break in. The door looks weak and is too obvious, seriously, at least make it out of metal and double up so if something makes it through the first one you'll have a back up. The guns on the roof will be pretty useless once anything gets within a certain distance of the house, unless those guns can bend over that railing on the roof.

The rooms are too cramped, if something does breach the house there won't be anywhere to run if you get swarmed. And what is the point of the barbed wire? It wouldn't really hurt zombies and any humans that would try attacking would probably bring something to cut it or to throw over it. Also, the open ladder up top is either asking for a zombie to crawl in or someone to get a lucky grenade down it and then a good chunk of your house would be missing.

This isn't a log cabin, it's a wood cabin, i.e. a shed.

Good luck growing anything in that perma-shade garden.

A gym on the first floor of a rickety wooden building!? This was clearly designed by somebody who has never once deadlifted.

But hey, nice CG renders circa 2003. If I ever want to blow a small fortune on a ridiculously impractical vanity product I'll know where to go.

Yeah, this is the first thing that leaped out at me. Space used for a garden benefits from anything up to 180 degrees of exposure. If you're in the tropics you could probably get away with a long garden with walls on either side, but the T shape means there's no way you can make effective use of the entire area no matter where you live.

44mm thick 'extra' thick logs? Seriously? That's basically 1 3/4"!
The 'log houses' I helped my dad build, make those look like twigs! Seriously, if 'those' are capable of holding off 'zombies', I think the 1.5' to 3' diameter log houses we've built, would do a far better job. :p
I've got guitars with necks wider than 44mm. Don't see that holding up to a heard of hundreds of zombies.

I liked that reinforced concrete one with hydraulically powered concrete shutters with a concrete perimeter wall better, I mean if you're going into fantasy land and want protection from zombies and marauding mad max bandits you might as well go all out. It is a liviable functional house until you close it up too, http://all-that-is-interesting.com/post/4956385434/the-first-zombie-proof-house
Now that's what i call a zombie prove house.
What do you want with that little bit of wood between you and the hordes, half a meter of concrete all the way!
