Ride Out the Apocalypse in the World's First Zombie-Proof House

Behold the imposing awesomeness of the world's first zombie-proof house!

When it comes to making a final stand against the hordes of the risen dead, practicality is paramount. Function must trump form if you want to avoid having your face chewed like an undercooked steak. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to sacrifice aesthetics, and there's certainly nothing that says you can't have a nice view while you await the undead apocalypse.

Designed by Polish firm KWK Promes [http://www.kwkpromes.pl/], the "Safe House" features an indoor swimming pool, a large, covered patio, a window-wall that opens onto a spacious second-floor balcony and provides a wonderful view, and a modern, attractive open-concept design. And when the zombies come, the whole thing essentially folds up into a giant, impenetrable block of concrete accessible only through a second-floor entrance protected by a rising drawbridge.

"The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security," the company wrote on its webpage, and it's not kidding. You nuke this place from orbit and maybe you'll get a peek inside, but anything less than that and you're probably just going to muss up the paint job. Of course, the ultimate anti-zombie abode isn't complete unless there's enough room in the basement for a multi-year supply of freeze-dried food and a couple of minigun emplacements on the roof, but this, I think, is a very good start.

Nope, This is [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anti-zombie-fortress]!

And £5 says it works better than that technological failure ;)
Why? It has glass. Never hide in a building that has glass in a zombie apocalypse. Let alone a building with a glass outer wall!

Edit: I don't care if it folds up into a little concrete box, if you are caught with your pants down then your doomed.

I so want to live in a house like that!
Even if the whole.. Zombie thing might seem a bit childish, it's an awesome house.

Oh my god...
That is actually quite a nice house too. I'd love to live there. Or maybe they'll design me a house for here in Perth... And build it. Haha, oh my god the looks on the neighbour faces would be hilarious.

At first I was like, there are too many windows!

But then I was all like, oh it turns into a giant block of concrete.

Pretty tight house.

I'm not convinced. How do they KNOW it's Zombie proof? Eh? Have they tested it?
And thus the Apocalypse began when researchers created zombies to test whether their zombie-proof design was effective in case a zombie apocalypse did in fact occur.

Short answer yes, long answer this is the last test being the ones before resumed as big mess and big hole for clean-up.

It folds up into a concrete barrier. I suppose that kinda offsets the glass

I Likes It! I do think it would be useful in a zombie apocalypse but I'd have the only exit an underground tunnel which would lead a few miles away where there would be another identical safe house and the same thing would happen from there until you have a connecting, one-way, system of tunnels and safe houses (which are stocked with supplies) around the world, all of them would lock down at the same time though so the zombies can't get me form the other side.

Captcha: Following evicyc, sounds like a bad (or good) horror movie.

Did you miss the part where it transformers into a concrete bunker? Kinda the point if you read it...

Lol on your link though. But thats weakness is its windows, a bunker design is supperior.
